Feb 9, 2015  |   Contributor: Mila Pantovich

This year's Grammy Awards were three-and-a-half-hours of somber moments that threatened to bog the entire evening down. Thankfully, there were some pretty great highlights that broke through the gloom—aside from the red carpet style.

Oscars 2013: Daniel Day-Lewis Breaks Records and Seth MacFarlane's Ode to Boobs

Feb 25, 2013  |   Contributor: Mila Pantovich
