Έτσι οι φίλοι μας, οι Kings Of Leon κατάφεραν να κερδίσουν 3 βραβεία με το 'Use Somebody', Καλύτερο Rock Τραγούδι, Καλύτερη Rock Ερμηνεία από ντουέτο ή γκρουπ και, το πιο σημαντικό, Καλύτερο Τραγούδι της χρονιάς, αφήνοντας πίσω τις Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift και τους The Black Eyed Peas.
Ο Caleb Followill, ως σωστός rocker, δέχτηκε το βραβείο με τα λόγια: «Δεν θα σας πω ψέματα, είμαστε όλοι λίγο μεθυσμένοι. Αλλά είμαστε χαρούμενοι μεθυσμένοι.»
Για πρώτη φορά στην πολύχρονη καριέρα του Grammy κέρδισε και ο Neil Young για … Καλύτερη Boxed ή Special Limited Edition Συσκευασία!
Τέλος το βραβείο καλύτερου νέου καλλιτέχνη δυστυχώς δεν πήγε στους MGMT ή τους Silversun Pickups αλλά στο γκρουπ της country Zac Brown Band.
