Hip-hop mogul Jay-Z, who had led with eight nominations at the Grammys, ended the night empty-handed.

Kendrick Lamar for the second time swept all rap categories but failed to win the general prizes. His five awards included Best Rap Album for "DAMN.," his turn to a classic hip-hop sound.

Bruno Mars, who has revived retro funk and R&B for a new generation, on Sunday completed a surprise sweep of the Grammys as the music world chose his party anthems in tumultuous times.

The industry seized on its annual gala to rally on behalf of the growing women's movement against sexual harassment, with pop singer Kesha delivering a fierce performance about her own abuse story.

Mars won the night's top prize, Album of the Year, for "24K Magic" as well as Record of the Year, which recognizes top tune, for the title track -- a 1980s-style R&B tale of good times with beautiful women.
