Media personality Trevor Noah returned as host for the ceremony for a sixth and final time, bringing his trademark wit to music’s biggest night.

As is tradition, the majority of the awards—95 categories in total—were presented earlier at the non-televised Premiere Ceremony, which was hosted by Darren Criss.

Multiple artists and creatives emerged as big winners on the night. Kendrick Lamar secured three Grammy Awards, while Lady Gaga, producers Cirkut and Jack Antonoff, and renowned recording engineer Serban Ghenea also recorded multiple wins.
