The Major Winners And Losers At The Grammy 2015 | Full List Of Winners

The 57th Annual Grammy Awards have come and gone, and 83 golden gramophones have been handed out to some of the most talented musicians in the world.

Sam Smith took center stage in just about every way, collecting four Grammys and treating the audience at the Staples Center to a stirring rendition of Song/Record of the Year "Stay With Me." In contrast to his weepy demeanor on that song, Smith was all smiles on Sunday.

"I can now put the term 'Grammy award-winning artist' before things I do, which is the most amazing thing," he told a group of reporters after the show. "What's beautiful about this record for me is that I didn't play a character."

Grammys 2015: The Full List

But in some cases, heading home with hardware doesn't necessarily make an act a big winner at the Grammys (see Beyoncé, who got snubbed in the Album of the Year category), just as getting shut out doesn't guarantee that the ceremony was a loss (see Ed Sheeran).

Here's my take on who emerged victorious in the broadest sense–and who, or what, did not.

WINNERS

Sam Smith. He won four Grammys–and three out of the "Big Four"–meeting and perhaps even exceeding the already-lofty expectations placed on him for the ceremony. Enough said.

Rosanne Cash. Johnny's daughter hasn't won since Ronald Reagan was president, as she cheerfully admitted to the reporters assembled in the media room, but this year she went a perfect three-for-three. Only Smith won more Grammys.

Ed Sheeran. Spotify's most-streamed artist of 2014 lost in all three categories for which he was nominated. But Sheeran wowed millions with a live performance in which he essentially did live band karaoke with a dream team of Questlove, John Mayer and Herbie Hancock. Then he duetted with Jeff Lynne, blowing up the internet in the process.

Kanye West. Though he failed to win a single award, West became one the main stories at the Grammys thanks to two performances and a priceless fake-out interruption of Beck. As a result, West earned more Twitter mentions than any other artist last night. If he really wants to go for the biggest win, he should release his new album in the next 24 hours.

LOSERS

Iggy Azalea. The Australian rapper got shut out, failing to win in any of the four categories in which she was nominated. Those could have been big ones: she was up for two of the Big Four as well as Best Rap Album. Azalea has had to deal with accusations of taking advantage of hip-hop; she'll need another hit in the not-too-distant future to stick around the pop stratosphere.

Beyoncé. Okay, so it's hard to really cast Beyoncé as a loser of anything, and she did take home two Grammys. But she was nominated for six–same as Sam Smith–and to come away with just a pair, especially after being the favorite to win Album of the Year, is something of a disappointment (even though it's not her fault).

The Album of the Year category. With all due respect to Beck, this one should have gone to Beyoncé–or Smith, or Pharrell Williams, or Ed Sheeran. All four had individual songs on their albums that got more spins on Spotify than Beck's entire album. Honoring an LP nobody has heard undermines the importance of one of the Big Four categories, and thereby the Grammys more broadly
