Pre-Grammy Award Show Award Winners Include St. Vincent, Childish Gambino and High on Fire

Prior to their official live 2019 award show in Los Angeles, California, the Grammys released a string of awards for a total of 10 categories during their pre-Grammy livestream. This year’s award ceremony, hosted at the Staples Center, is taking a different approach, with organizers focusing on providing more live performances and less distribution of actual awards.

The show, hosted by Alicia Keys for the first time, will only have a total of 9 awards being given out live on television, but will have several performances by Post Malone, Cardi B, Camila Cabello, and more.

Here is the list of pre-Grammy Award Show winners, as per Rolling Stone:

• Best Alternative Music Album: Colors, Beck
• Best Dance/Electronic album: Woman Worldwide, Justice
• Best Dance Recording: “Electricity,” Silk City & Dua Lipa Featuring Diplo & Mark Ronson
• Posthumous award for Best Rock Performance: “When Bad Does Good”, Chris Cornell
• Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media: Black Panther
• Best Metal Performance: “Electric Messiah,” High on Fire
• Best Rock Song: “Masseduction,” St Vincent

• Best Rap Performance (Tie): “King’s Dead,” Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock, Future and James Blake, and “Bubblin,” Anderson Paak
