All the Grammys have been handed out, and in a night of upsets, a few unexpected artists walked away with some glittery statuettes for the mantle. Jazz bassist and singer Esperanza Spalding snagged the Best New Artist trophy, besting chart-toppers like Justin Bieber and Drake, and indie darlings Arcade Fire won the coveted Album of the Year trophy, beating out pop supernovas like Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, heavily nominated MC Eminem and country stars Lady Antebellum.

Lady Antebellum have plenty more to celebrate, however, having picked up no less than five awards, including both Song of the Year and Record of the Year. John Legend and the Roots' joint project Wake Up! as well as Jay-Z scored three awards (none were televised), while 10-time and six-time nominees Em and Gaga both walked away with two and three trophies, respectively.
