And the Grammy Went to ...

NEW YORK, Mar 1, 2002/ --- At last night's 44th Annual Grammy Awards, the stars came out in full
force, and the amount of cleavage and belly flashing on the red carpet certainly did not
disappoint.
While everyone seemed in a party spirit, the events of September 11, which caused the
cancellation or rescheduling of several awards shows this fall (remember the Emmys saga?),
still colored the show.
Host Jon Stewart, for example, opened the show with a requisite metal detector joke.
The biggest upset of the evening was the "O Brother, Where Art Thou" soundtrack beating out
major names U2, Bob Dylan, India.Arie and OutKast for the Album of the Year award.
The country soundtrack also took home four other awards.
Also dominating the Grammys with five wins was 21-year-old Alicia Keys, whose victories
included Song of the Year ("Fallin'"), Best New Artist and R&B Album of the Year.
Going in with the most nominations, U2, who opened the ceremony with a rendition of "Walk On,"
didn't go home empty-handed either. The group won four awards including the top honor, Record
of the Year, for "Walk On."
