... at the Grammys.

Ludacris gave a shout-out to Bill O'Reilly [1] as he accepted his trophy for Best Rap Album [2].

And Natalie Maines, accepting the award for the Dixie Chicks' Best Country Album [3], quotes Nelson Muntz:

"Ha ha!" [4]

UPDATE: Most surreal moment: Ornette Coleman presenting Carrie Underwood with her award for Best New Artist. I think I'll find her agent and have her sent a copy of New York is Now [5]. I think she probably needs one.

UPDATE II: "Not Ready to Make Nice" is also Record of the Year. (Sour grapes much, Chad?)

UPDATE III: Taking the Long Way is Album of the Year.

Fantastic. It's good to see the recording industry -- or at least a plurality of the 11,000 people who comprise the voting membership of "the Academy" -- being supportive of an artist who was the target of an irrational smear campaign. It is a testament to their toughness and resiliency.
