Denise · 20-04-2012, 03:40 PM

Maybe Anchorman read only the first page of the list

Awesome, congrats Coldplay.

LOL, yeah, U.S. radio can be very confusing sometimes with its descriptions of what constitutes "rock" or "alternative" (or, in the case of the Grammys, "new" sometimes).

But whatever, still really cool regardless. As stated by someone in this thread already, they won't be there in person, which is a shame, but I'll still watch anyway to see if they do indeed win the awards they're up for (now there's a "You know you're addicted to Coldplay when..." moment...).

Darn! I watched it for awhile until I couldn't handle LMFAO anymore (

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I had it on mute it was so boring. Now I wish I had taped it. I thought for sure Foo Fighters were going to win. Is this based solely on the number of records sold?

viva4life · 21-05-2012, 04:51 AM

They showed it the last 20 minutes of the program real quick lol Coldplay did quite well winning 4 overall!!! Only Adele and yes, LMFAO won more! Won Best Rock/Alternative Band and Mylo Xyloto won Best Rock/Alternative Album beating out Wasting Light, Torches, and Sigh No More!!!
