2:30 p.m. Tony Bennett wins the traditional pop vocal album trophy for his “Duets II," which sees the veteran crooner collaborating with a number of younger artists, including Norah Jones, Lady Gaga and the late Amy Winehouse.

“This is my 16th Grammy. Isn't that wonderful?" Bennett said from the podium.

He added, “It's an amazing album. It's the first album I've ever had that went to No. 1 on Billboard. It's selling all over the world, in every single country. It's an amazing, wonderful experience. My son came up with the premise of 'Duets I' and 'Duets II.'"
