Who was the big winner at the 57th annual Grammy?

Soulful singer Sam Smith was the big winner Sunday night at the 57 th annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, California. Smith took home four awards: Best New Artist, Best Pop Vocal Album, Song of the Year and Record of the Year.
   The British artist’s 2014 album, "In the Lonely Hour," was about the painful break-up he experienced last year with someone he loved. But Smith noted the happy ending. He accepted his final award for Record of the Year by thanking the one who broke his heart.
   The big surprise of the night was in the Album of the Year category. Many expected Beyonce to win for her self-titled album. But musician Beck took home the award for his album " Morning Phase."
   The recording was also honored with the Best Rock Album award.
   Kanye West played a little trick on Beck and the crowd at the Staples Center. He jumped up on stage as Beck was accepting the award. The move was similar to the bad behavior he displayed at the 2009 Video Music Awards. At that event, West interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech to tell the crowd that Beyonce deserved the award that Swift had just received.
   However, Sunday night, West left the stage immediately, laughing. The audience realized it was just a prank. West even fooled Beyonce’s husband.
   Beyonce did not go home with empty hands Sunday night. She won three Grammys, including Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance for her song, "Drunk in Love. "
   Other Grammy winners included country singer Miranda Lambert and rapper-singer Pharell Williams. The show included a video message from President Barack Obama about ending domestic violence.
   Critical opinion was mixed about the musical performances at the Grammy Awards. Most critics praised Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett for their delivery of "Cheek to Cheek. "
   And the crowd roared for the performance of Sia’s song, "Chandelier. " Actresses Kristen Wiig and Maddie Ziegler danced to the song.
