Examiner: 'Twilight Saga' musicians win big at the GRAMMYs and the BAFTAs

Last night, two separate but significant awards events took place - the 53rd Annual GRAMMY Awards in Los Angeles, California and the Orange British Academy Film Awards 2011 in London, England - and at both events, Twilight Saga musicians were honored.

For starters, the GRAMMYs were attended by several Twilight series soundtrack musicians, including Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine (contributed "Heavy in Your Arms" to The Twilight Saga: Eclipse's soundtrack), Paramore ("Decode" and "I Caught Myself" from the Twilight OST), Vampire Weekend ("Jonathan Low" - Eclipse OST), Cee-Lo Green ("What Part of Forever" - Eclipse OST), The Black Keys ("Chop and Change" - Eclipse OST), and Muse (included on all three Twilight series soundtracks so far).

Cee-Lo Green, Florence Welch, and Muse were performers, and several of the above were also winners of the night's awards. Below are the Twilight Saga soundtrack contributors' wins:
Urban/Alternative Performance: "F--- You," Cee Lo Green

Rock Album: Muse, The Resistance
Rock Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals: The Black Keys, "Tighten Up,” Brothers
Alternative Music Album: Brothers, The Black Keys

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse was nominated for Compilation Soundtrack Album for Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media, and the producers of the album were interviewed at the event, but Crazy Heart went on to win it.

Meanwhile, at the BAFTAs, Alexandre Desplat - who composed the official motion picture score for The Twilight Saga: New Moon) picked up the award for "Original Music" for his work in The King's Speech.

MTV: Muse Bring The Rock To The Grammy Stage With 'Uprising'

The British band perform the single from their award-winning album, The Resistance.

After those unquestionably rousing performances from the women of the Aretha Franklin medley, Lady Gaga, and Miranda Lambert, the 2011 Grammys needed a little bit of rock and roll.

Cue this year's Best Rock Album winners Muse, who, as the evening's first males to perform on the stage, kicked in to their radio rotation-heavy anthem, "Uprising."

Standing atop television screens elevated above the stage, Matthew Bellamy — donning a sparkly white suit and playing a double-neck guitar — and his fellow bandmembers sounded just as good live as they do on their now Grammy-winning album The Resistance.

In what felt like a possible "Soy Bomb" moment, a security guard fought with a man onstage, but it turned out to be part of an anarchic scene to go along with the anti-authoritarian track.

Later, as the hard-rocking English trio sang lyrics such as, "They will not control us/ We will be victorious," images of American currency and Prince Charles and Camilla Bowles were lit ablaze by the onstage extras for a fiery, if not overtly political, finale.

Less than half an hour later, Bellamy, Christopher Wolstenholme and Dominic Howard, whose band saw a massive rise in popularity in the States over the past few years, would return to the Grammy stage to receive the Best Rock Album award.

Bellamy, who called the win "a great, genuine surprise," then went on to thank his "beautiful, pregnant girlfriend over there," Kate Hudson.
