The 50th annual Grammy awards you didn't see on TV

Most people (including me) have never really known all the Grammy categories and award winners past what we are shown on television. Did you know there is a category for best album notes? Or even best packaging? How about all those great album cover artists who never get airtime recognition. God forbid that I would ever suggest making the Grammy's actually longer, but how about a second (or even third) show showcasing everyone who won? Granted I could see this show only being aired on some 2nd or 3rd tier network, but at least there is some love for people who work just as hard as those who are in the limelight. Here you go - A link to everything that happened last night and a list of all categories:
