Beyonce's haul set a new record for the most Grammys won in a single year by a solo female performer, and takes her career tally to 16. Her other awards this year included best contemporary R&B album, best R&B female vocal for Single Ladies and best traditional R&B performance for At Last, which she performed at President Obama's inauguration.
She also won best pop vocal performance for Halo. Accepting that trophy, she said: "This has been such an amazing night for me and I'd like to thank the Grammys. "I'd like to thank my family including my husband, I love you," she said, referring to rapper Jay-Z.
Michael Jackson's children Paris and Prince accepted a lifetime achievement award on behalf of the King of Pop, who died last June. "Daddy was going to perform this year," 11-year-old Paris told the audience. "He couldn't perform last year. Thank you and we love you daddy."
The Black Eyed Peas won best short video for Boom Boom Pow and best pop performance by a duo or group with vocals for I Gotta Feeling.
Jay-Z's track Run This Town, featuring Rihanna and Kanye West, was named best rap song and best rap/sung collaboration, while he also picked up best rap solo performance for DOA (Death Of Auto-Tune). Fellow rapper Eminem, meanwhile, won best rap album for Relapse and best rap performance by a duo or group for Crack A Bottle, his comeback collaboration with Dr Dre and 50 Cent.
French dance star David Guetta won an award for best remixed recording for When Love Takes Over. "Finally the DJ culture and the dance culture is growing in America," he said.
