Daft Punk Album Of The Year At 2014 Grammy Awards: Duo Wins For 'Random Access Memories'

When Reddy won her award for Female Pop Vocal Performance for "I Am Woman," she thanked God "because she makes everything possible," which was a pretty controversial statement at the time.

Accepting the award for Best Hard Rock Performance for "Spin The Black Circle," an audaciously aloof Eddie Vedder took the stage with: "We just came to relax. I just wanted to watch the show ... I'm going to say something typically me, on behalf of all of us, I don't know what this means, I don't think it means anything." He ended with an appropriate: "Thanks, I guess."

Years before Kanye West, Ol' Dirty Bastard stormed the Grammys stage as Shawn Colvin got up to accept her Song of the Year award for "Sunny Came Home." The rapper was noticeably upset that Wu-Tang Clan lost in the Best Hip-Hop Album category to Puff Daddy earlier in the evening.

About to deliver her acceptance speech for Best New Artist, Amy Lee of Evanescence was interrupted by rapper 50 Cent, who just waltzed on across the stage. He was also nominated for the category and obviously lost.

After winning Best Rap Album for "College Dropout," West went spiritual, saying: "Ya'll might as well get the music ready 'cause this is gonna take a while. When I had my accident, I found out at that moment, nothing in life is promised except death. If you have the opportunity to play this game called life, you have to appreciate every moment. A lot of people don't appreciate their moment until it's passed. And then you got to tell those Al Bundy stories: 'You remember when I ...' Right now, it's my time and my moment, thanks to the fans, thanks to the accident, thanks to God, thanks to Roc-A-Fella, Jay Z, Dame Dash, G, my mother, Rhymefest, everyone that's helped me. And I plan to celebrate and scream and pop champagne every chance I get, 'cause I'm at the Grammys baby! I know everybody asked me the question, they wanted to know, 'What, Kan, I know he's gonna wile out, I know he's gonna do something crazy.' Everybody wanted to know what I would do, if I didn't win ... I guess we'll never know!"

The Foo Fighters frontman accepted the award for Best Rock Performance by saying: "This award means a lot because it shows that the human element of making music is what’s most important. Singing into a microphone and learning to play an instrument and learning to do your craft, that's the most important thing for people to do." Many took this as a slight against electronic music, to which the rocker later apologized.

While accepting the award for Best New Artist, Bon Iver frontman Justin Vernon gave a humble, albeit comfortable, speech. "It's really hard to accept this award," he said. "There's so much talent out here, and there's a lot of talent that's not here tonight. It's also hard to accept because you know, when I started to make songs I did it for the inherent reward of making songs, so I'm a little bit uncomfortable up here ... I want to say thank you to all the nominees, and all the non-nominees that have never been here and never will be here."
