Coldplay have won the first of seven possible Grammy Awards, coming in the category 'Best Pop Performance by Group' for their single Viva la Vida. Phil Harvey has just twittered: best pop performance by group for viva la vida - at least we're not going home empty handed :-)
George Carlin won best comedy album Grammy for "It's Bad for Ya," a recording of his last HBO special. It was the late comedian's fifth Grammy Award. His daughter, Kelly, accepted on his behalf, saying she'd take better care of it than Carlin did with his first Grammy -- which was taken apart in a "chemically induced, altered state," she said. Other winners included the film "Juno," which won best compilation soundtrack; Peter Gabriel and Thomas Newman, who won best motion picture song for "Down to Earth" from the film "WALL-E"; and R&B singer Ne-Yo, who won two awards.
With 110 categories, most of the honors are given out in advance of the show, which airs 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
