Grammy Awards Celebrate Diversity

The Motion Picture Academy may be under fire because of its recent list of acting nominees lacking a single person of color, but the Recording Academy's big night Monday celebrated artists of all backgrounds.

Lady Gaga honored the late rocker David Bowie at the show, performing a medley of songs including "Space Oddity," "Fame," and 'Ziggy Stardust."
