Grammys Winners 2020: The Full List

By Variety Staff

LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) – Billie Eilish swept the top Grammy categories at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards as she and brother/recording partner Finneas O’Connell took home six out of the seven awards they were nominated for. Eilish became only the second artist in history to nab new artist, song of the year, record of the year and album of the year. She also won pop vocal album while O’Connell earned producer of the year and engineered album (both non-classical).

Lizzo also had a stellar Grammy debut. After opening the show with a Kobe Bryant tribute and another energetic rendition of “Truth Hurts,” she managed to pick up trophies for pop solo performance, traditional R&B performance and urban contemporary album. Tyler, the Creator won his first Grammy on Sunday in the rap album category, beating 21 Savage, YBN Cordae, Meek Mill and Dreamville.
