11:24 p.m. So glad to see LL Cool J close out the night, not as host, but LL, the rapper. By day, I do a little hosting and acting. At night, I do a little rapping," he said, bringing Chuck D on stage with him to honor the Beastie Boys, who lost Adam Yauch last year. A great way to end the night. 11:16 p.m. Mumford & Sons wins for album of the year. Accepting the award from fellow Brit Adele, Marcus Mumford gets bleeped when he says they didn't win last year because of her. The band thanked the Grammys for having "opened their arms" to British musicians. Mumford's beautiful wife, actress Carey Mulligan wipes away tears as she watches from the audience. Chris Brown, Rihanna Get Cozy at Grammys 11:11 p.m. Wow, love the way Frank Ocean makes an entrance. Who else could make a song called "Forrest Gump" sound like a meditation? That was a performance that left me wanting more. 10:49 p.m. The Grammys returns from commercial break with Chick Corea and Stanley Clarke giving a tribute to the late Dave Brubeck. JT is back too, announcing the new music educator award, followed by a tribute to all the people lost in music last year. Just before launching into a Levon Helm tribute, Elton John mentioned the children of Newtown, CT, whose voices, he said, were silenced forever. The mashup of "Take A Load Off Annie" with John, Mavis Staples, Zac Brown, Mumford & Sons and the lead singer from Alabama Shakes is sure to be one of those Grammy moments. I think Mavis Staples just got the spirit. 10:40 p.m. Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic Prince only has to walk (with a cane) on the stage to get a standing ovation. He's announcing the award for record of the year. "I love this song," he says before revealing the winner, "Somebody That I Used to Know," by Belgian-Australian singer Gotye featuring New Zealand singer Kimbra. "The man standing behind us with a cane is a big reason I was inspired to make music," Gotye said, referring to Prince. 10:34 p.m. Hunter Hayes plays a little bit of his hit "Wanted" as an introduction for Carrie Underwood, who's already won six Grammys. Underwood is another former "Idol" who has far surpassed the title. Not sure I'm digging the light show playing out on her ballgown, though. 10:26 p.m. I think Katy Perry is showing a little more "breast" than CBS would like as she announces the nominees for best new artist. All in all, the fashion tonight is pretty tame. Jennifer Lopez, Other Stars Flaunt the Memo Perry did point out that she was never nominated in that category, though she now has her own "eyelash line." "Take that Bon Iver," she added. Fun is the surprise winner over Frank Ocean for best new artist. Guitarist Jack Antonoff gets a kiss from girlfriend Lena Dunham, creator of "Girls." 10:18 p.m. Watching Taylor Swift sing along to The Lumineers" catchy tune "Ho Hey," you can't help but think she probably wishes she had written that song. From The Lumineers to Jack White, who rocked it out and got the people on their feet. Did White just drop the F-bomb while singing "Love Interruption" with Ruby Amanfu? 10:05 p.m. The Bob Marley tribute we've all been waiting for starting with Bruno Mars singing a reggae inflected "Locked Out of Heaven." Sting effortlessly joins in before segueing to "Walking on the Moon." Wow, these two were meant to perform together. I think the whole audience is dancing. Rihanna and Ziggy Marley take it to the islands now. Did she have a wee wardrobe malfunction? When it sounds this good, do we care? 9:56 p.m. Sometimes I forget Kelly Clarkson was the original "American Idol." She's showing serious chops singing "A Natural Woman." She got the people on their feet, including Adele. Backstage, Clarkson got a chance to meet Miguel and posted a picture on Twitter. kellyclarkson/Instagram 9:49 p.m. Black Keys jamming with New Orleans jazz musicians and demonstrating why they are up for album of the year. Love it! Rihanna is getting a standing ovation for her stirring performance of "Stay" as the camera pans to her date tonight, Chris Brown.

Scores of officers are outside the Staples Center; others are stationed on a hotel roof across the street. Grammy participants" credentials are being checked constantly.
