It was Coldplay who took the award for best rock album and song of the year.
Lil Wayne took home the prize for Rap Album of the Year for Tha Carter III and best rap solo performance for "A Milli." He also won best rap song for "Lollipop" and clearly had a good night.
And it was John Mayer who snagged best male pop vocal performance for "Say" as well as solo rock vocal performance for "Gravity." Great, like that one needs more encouragement.
