11:09 Best Rap Album goes to Gary Sinese! No, I'm just getting punchy. The Grammy goes to Lil Wayne, who kung fu kicks his way on stage. He thanks God, who is very relieved, I'm sure, that Nas didn't win.

11:18 Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, backed up by T Bone Burnett, are turning up the heat. This is music that has its own pulse, a kind of spooky energy that is spellbinding. And I want T Bone Burnett's guitar and amps.

11:25 Green Day present Album Of The Year to Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. Krauss is giddy and doesn't quite know what to say, but Plant is cucumber cool. He's loving this success and savoring the moment. I almost expect him to yell, "And Led Zeppelin are over!" but that message seems to have gotten through to everybody.

So how did MusicRadar do with its 2009 Grammy predictions? Some right, some wrong - a bit like the awards ceremony itself, we guess...
