The 68th annual Grammy Awards took place Sunday night at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, honoring the best in the music industry. The ceremony, broadcast live on CBS and streamed on Paramount , featured performances from top artists and the presentation of 95 awards, including two new categories: Best Traditional Country Album and Best Album Cover, according to CBS News.
Sabrina Carpenter and Addison Rae were among the stars who made a splash on the red carpet, according to Fox News. Carpenter wore a custom Valentino sheer white gown with intricate beadwork and embroidery.
Kendrick Lamar led the nominations with nine, according to CBS News. The awards also marked a change in nomenclature, with Best Country Album now named Best Contemporary Country Album.
In other news, a documentary titled "Melania," detailing 20 days in the life of former First Lady Melania Trump before President Donald Trump's second term, had a surprisingly successful opening weekend, Fox News reported. The documentary reportedly posted the best opening weekend for a documentary in over a decade, despite low critic scores and initial expectations of failure. The Hollywood Reporter noted that "no one saw that coming," as many predicted the film would be a "bomb."
Meanwhile, in Amsterdam, Boom Chicago, an improv theater, was recognized for its role in launching the careers of several prominent American comedians, including Seth Meyers, Jordan Peele, Ike Barinholtz, Amber Ruffin, and Jason Sudeikis, according to CBS News. Meyers, now the host of NBC's "Late Night with Seth Meyers," spent four years at Boom Chicago after graduating from college. "We were just so ambitious, and wanted to be funny every night I kind of forgot that they were also giving us this road map of how to do other things," Meyers told CBS News correspondent Jon Wertheim. He credited his time at Boom Chicago with providing him a "road map" to his job at "Saturday Night Live."
