GRAMMYS RECAP: Kanye, Springsteen, Clark Sisters lead with 3 wins

kanyeKanye West, Bruce Springsteen and gospel group The Clark Sisters lead the list of winners with three Grammys apiece after the pre-show awards were handed out at the Staples Center in Los Angeles this afternoon.

Amy Winehouse, Justin Timberlake, Mary J. Blige, White Stripes, Chaka Khan and conductor Leonard Slatkin each received two Grammys.

West essentially swept the rap category, Springsteen tore through the rock category and The Clark Sisters dominated the gospel category.

West has three nominations left and Winehouse has four remaining, with both duking it out in the album of the year category.

Timberlake has one nomination remaining, record of the year, where he also faces Winehouse. Blige, who won best R&B group vocal performance with Khan and best gospel performance with Aretha Franklin, also has a chance to add to her total take, with a nod in the best female R&B vocal performance for "Just Fine."

The White Stripes' two wins came for best alternative album and best rock group performance. Slatkin's wins came for "Tower: Made in America" for best classical album and best orchestral performance.
