Daft Punk and Justice both walk away with a Grammy

The Grammy committee rarely get it right when it comes to the dance/techno music awards. That is until this year, I think that they nailed it this year.

Field 12 reads: Best Dance Recording (For solo, duo, group or collaborative performances. Vocal or Instrumental. Singles or tracks only.) artist up for this award included Give It 2 Me by Madonna and Disturbia by the sexy Rihanna but it was Daft Punk who won there first Grammy after being nominated four other times previously for the award. The also took home the honor of Best Dance Album with Alive beating out greats like Moby and Cindy Lauper.

And Category 94 read Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical(A Remixer's Award. (Artists names appear in parentheses for identification.) Singles or Tracks only.)
This was a little bit trickier but my favorite for the award, Justice pulling it off with Electric Feel (Justice Remix) Justice, remixers (MGMT)
