JASON CARROLL, CNN ANCHOR: If you weren't able to catch the Grammys last night, you're still in luck. We have everything you need to know about the big show for you this morning. It was no doubt a beautiful day for veteran rockers U2. The Irish band accepted the coveted record of the year prize. They also picked up two other awards. Steely Dan surprised many viewers. The jazz/rock duo took home three awards, including album of the year. But the moment everyone was waiting for involved an openly gay rocker and a rapper accused of gay bashing. With more on that, here's CNN's Eric Horng, who joins us now live this morning from Los Angeles. Eric, I know a lot of people were waiting to see that duo hit the stage. What's the reaction? Are you hearing anything about how it went?</s>ERIC HORNG, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, yes, you're absolutely right. Everyone had been waiting for several days for that duet; that much anticipated duet between Eminem and Elton John. Of course, Eminem has drawn fire over the last several months for his very controversial lyrics, many of them which are ripe with violent imagery, especially against gays and women, has drawn criticism from many gay rights activists, as well as women groups. Paired with -- and a very much unlikely pairing with Elton John. But, they received a very warm response last night from the audience, receiving a standing ovation at the end of that performance of Eminem song, hit song "Stan." Eminem himself also received three Grammy awards last night, all of them in the rap category. He was up for the best album award; did not end up winning that. Steely Dan won that award. But, all in all, it seemed like a pretty good night for Eminem.</s>CARROLL: All right, thanks so very much, Eric, coming to us live this morning from Los Angeles. Looks like there were a few surprises on the stage there. TO ORDER A VIDEO OF THIS TRANSCRIPT, PLEASE CALL 800-CNN-NEWS OR USE OUR SECURE ONLINE ORDER FORM LOCATED AT www.fdch.com
