TheGrammyAwards The worlds hottest musicians hit the red carpet at the 57th annual Grammy Awards at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday and wowed in a number of different ways. Performers like Madonna and Charli XCX made sure to make a statement at Musics Biggest Night and stunned in wild retro-inspired looks. Madonna no doubt stole the spotlight in a Moulin Rouge-inspired head-to-toe Givenchy getup, and Charli XCX came in a fast second in a bubble gum pink and white 80s inspired tux with a matching pink fur stole. While the ladies ruled the red carpet, there were also plenty of music gents who were dressed to impress. Veteran musician Tony Bennett looked sleek in a classic suit and Pharrell - as usual - pushed the envelope in a fashion-forward short suit.The Grammy Awards Are they important?Why is the award called a Grammy?Read the passage and fill in the following table.The Grammy AwardsContentWhen and where is the ceremony held?What are they given for?How many categories are there?What do people think of them?in the United States in February every year105not as important as they used to be, not taken seriously by some musicians or music fans78 in 2012for important achievements in recorded musicCultural CornerCan Chinese musicians be nominated the Grammy Awards?Only two awards for world music5Elvis Elvis PresleyPresleyWhich do you think is more important, Which do you think is more important, music award or music itself?music award or music itself?Many times!Very few!Award VS MusicCultural Corner6present v. present v. 赠送，颁发（礼物；奖品）赠送，颁发（礼物；奖品）eg.
