The Grammys took place on Sunday night, February 15, 2016, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, and was broadcast live on CBS on the east coast (the west coast had a tape delay).

Below are some of the highlights from the broadcast of the The 58th Annual Grammy Awards, along with the full list of Grammy winners at the end.

Thriller, the biggest selling record of all time by one of the most successful artists ever to grace this planet, Michael Jackson, is now available on MP3 format from Amazon this month for only $2.99.

Thriller hit the number one spot 30 years ago today, back on February 26, 1983, and then dominated the charts at that spot for months and months afterwards, in fact, all told, it logged 37 weeks there ultimately. An immeasurable musical cultural artifact from the 1980s, a smooth R&B follow up, a peak for the artist who had already reached so many mountaintops and summits, a record which blew everybody out of the water, created an absolute revolution in styles, fashion, sounds, music videos, production, reshaping genres, crossing them, had luminaries like Paul McCartney and Eddie Van Halen make key contributions to it, one can go on and on with endless platitudes and details about what a powerhouse, heavyweight and seminal record Michael Jackson’s Thriller became and remains.

Today’s MP3 album deal of the day is Michael Jackson‘s Off the Wall for only $4.99.

Off the Wall was released in 1979 after his successful childhood career with his brothers in The Jackson 5, as well as his turn as the Scarecrow in the film The Wiz. Off the Wall, which was the precursor to Jackson’s mega-hit album Thriller, contains 10 songs, all worth owning for sure, but standouts are “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough,” “Rock With You,” the ballad “She’s Out Of My Life” (jazz guitarist Larry Carlton performed on this one!), and the title track. Definitely, a must-own.

If you’d like a physical copy of Off the Wall, the CD, which contains extra songs and an interview, is available for $6.99.

The MP3 album deal of the day over at Amazon today is Michael Jackson’s Thriller for only $3.99.

This album contains 9 songs from the late singer and spawned many hits like “Beat It,” “Billy Jean,” “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’,” and “P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing),” not to mention the awesome horror-themed title track complete with voiceover by horror icon Vincent Price.

If you’d like a physical copy of Thriller, there’s the original recording on CD and the remastered CD with bonus tracks, as well as the 25th Anniversary CD+DVD.

There were quite a few strange and questionable moments during this past Sunday’s Academy Awards ceremony. Between some head-scratching winners to an angry George Clooney mystery, from random Kanye West ambushes, to the shocking and inexcusable exclusion of Farrah Fawcett from the In Memoriam section of the program, there was more than enough to talk about at the water cooler the next day.

It didn’t take long for the story behind that random ambush to come out, but why exactly was Fawcett forgotten? Well, the Academy has now attempted to explain their decision (yes, it was a decision), and folks might just be even more enraged knowing why than they were when it was just a question mark.

Continue reading to hear the explanation for yourself.

As always, we like to have the results of the big awards ceremonies here for all to see, and tonight was the biggest of them all: the 82nd annual Academy Awards.

This, the king of all awards shows, has faced much criticism the last few years, and their nominations this year did not help bring validity to their cause. Many of the films and actors were very deserving of their nominations, but many others were passed over in lieu of some big box office successes of questionable overall quality. And though they made a valiant effort to increase the excitement of the show with 10 Best Picture nominations, the end result was frustrating to we the film lovers of the world?

In the end, some fantastic films and performances were justly awarded, and as always, there were a few that rubbed the wrong way. Continue on over to the other side to see all of the final results!
