Grammy Award Winners 2018: Complete List

It's a wrap for the 60th edition of the Grammy Awards. Jay-Z entered Sunday as the top nominee but it was Bruno Mars and Kendrick Lamar who were the biggest winners. Many (like myself) were disappointed that Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's 2017 summer hit "Despacito" won in none of the three categories in which it was nominated.  The Grammys were awarded in over 80 categories. Hoping for a category for African music in coming years. Africa deserves to be represented at the Grammys. Here are the nominees and winners for each category:
