WAY TO GO, J-HUD

Jennifer Hudson has a Grammy to go with that Oscar. The actress-singer picked up the first award of the telecast, Best R&B Album for her namesake solo disc. Hudson's victory is bittersweet, coming several months after the killings of her mother, brother and nephew. In her acceptance speech, Hudson gushed: "I'm just in awe right now. ... I would like to thank my family in heaven and those who are here today."

JUSTIN'S SMOOTH MOVES

Justin Timberlake performing Let's Stay Together alongside Al Green was a top-notch moment. Yeah, Keith Urban and Boyz II Men were somewhere on stage, but all eyes were on Timberlake's smooth moves and harmonies with Green.

AN OVERDUE GRAMMY

The Four Tops, which never won music's highest honor, finally received their due with a lifetime achievement award; sadly, the group's lone surviving member, Abdul "Duke" Fakir, could not share it with his three former bandmates.
