And the winner is…
The 56th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony will begin its broadcast in a few hours, but as usual, some of the awards have already been announced. Most of these categories aren’t usually on the FACT radar; however, Ziggy Marley (Ziggy Marley in Concert) has bested Snoop Lion (Reincarnated), handing the artist formerly/sometimes known as Snoop Dogg his 16th nomination without a win.
Stay tuned: we’ll be updating this post as the results come in.
