Daft Punk, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and a bizarre hat-wearing Pharrell Williams were the big winners at the 56th annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday.
The French dance duo took home Album of the Year and Dance/Electronica Album for Random Access Memories and Record of the Year and Pop/Duo Group Performance for last year's catchy "Get Lucky".
Williams, who has achieved chart success with his latest single "Happy", was awarded Producer of the Year alongside his "Get Lucky" accolades, while Macklemore & Ryan Lewis picked up New Artist, Rap Performance and Rap Song for "Thrift Shop" and Rap Album for The Heist.
Justin Timberlake won three awards, while New Zealand's Lorde reigned for the girls, winning Song of the Year and Pop Solo Performance for "Royals".
Justin Timberlake won Music Video for "Suit & Tie", which also earned Jay Z a Grammy. Jay Z and Timberlake also won Rap/Sung Collaboration for "Holy Grail".
Jay Z, keeping up the decade-long Grammy tradition of rappers leading in nominations, was the night's front-runner with nine.
Sir Paul McCartney, engineer Bob Ludwig and gospel singer Tye Tribett were double winners, while Imagine Dragons, Bruno Mars and Rihanna also picked up trophies.
Nigeria's Femi Kuti lost out for the 4th time, after French group Gipsy Kings and South African group Ladysmith Black Mambazo were named joint winners
