Ike Turner wins a Grammy! Joaquin Pheonix wins too! John Williams wins two!
The winners are coming fast and furious now! One of them is Ike Turner for traditional blues album. He didn't mention Tina (did ya think he would?) but did say: "I want to say than ks to God and all my fans...I want to say thanks to everyone and thanks to God most of all." He looks nothing like Laurence Fishbourne who played him in the movie "What's Love Got To Do With It."
Joaquin Pheonix lost the best actor Oscar last year for "Walk the Line" but was the winner in the compilation soundtrack category. He wasn't present but the film's producer, James Keach, accepted on his behalf.
John Williams, who already has a gazillion Oscars for score, has two more Grammys today. He won for scoring the soundtrack album of "Memiors of a Geisha" and motion picture song ("A Prayer for Peace"). Sorry! don;t know the movie he wrote it for.
