Amy Winehouse Sweeps the Grammy’s


Amy Winehouse pulled off a near-clean sweep at the 50th annual Grammy Awards Sunday night, scoring five trophies including record of the year, song of the year and best new artist, while putting on a passionate performance via satellite from London.

Winehouse won all the night’s top awards, except album of the year, which went to Herbie Hancock for River: The Joni Letters.

In an emotional acceptance speech via satellite from London after a performance of “You Know That I’m No Good” and “Rehab,” Winehouse, thanked her producer Mark Ronson (who won producer of the year), her mother and father, and her husband Blake Fielder-Civil. “To my Blake, my Blake incarcerated,” she said. Fielder-Civil is currently awaiting trial in a London jail.
