Daft Punks The 56th Annual Grammys

The helmet-clad French pop duo swept the five categories it was in Sunday night at the 56th annual Grammys, according to USAToday. Their album Random Access Memories picked up three honors, for album of the year, best dance/electronica album and engineered album, and their single with Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers, Get Lucky, was named record of the year and best pop duo/group performance.

After their album-of-the-year win, Daft Punk collaborator and songwriter Paul Williams joked that "back when I was drinking, I would imagine things that weren't there and I'd get frightened. Then I got sober and two robots called and asked me to make an album."

Lorde
And Lorde may never be a royal, but she lorded over the ceremony, too.

The 17-year-old New Zealander's hit Royals won both song of the year — she's the youngest artist to ever win in that category — and best pop solo performance.

"I probably wouldn't be here if Joel wasn't here," Lorde (real name: Ella Yelich O'Connor) said, accepting song of the year with co-writer Joel Little. "This guy nurtured me through my early years in songwriting."


Macklemore & Ryan Lewis also took their first Grammys by storm. The hip-hop duo was named best new artist, and they also won three major rap awards: best performance and best song for Thrift Shop and best album for The Heist.

"Before there was any media, before there was any buzz, before there was a story, there was our fans," Macklemore said when accepting the award for best new artist. "Without them, there would be no us."
