He won the awards for best album, best record and best song.

Bruno Mars won big at the 60th Grammy Awards Sunday, taking home the top prizes of the night.

He won Album of the Year and Record of the Year for "24K Magic." His song, "That's What I Like," also won Song of the Year.

"Those songs were written with nothing but joy," he told the audience after winning Album of the Year.

James Corden hosted the event at Madison Square Garden — the first time the ceremony had been held in New York City in 15 years.

Kendrick Lamar, who opened the show with a powerful, politically charged performance, was nominated for seven awards and won five within the first hour, including Best Rap Song and Best Rap Video.

Also named among the winners was Carrie Fisher, who was posthumously awarded the Grammy for Best Spoken Word Album for her book, "The Princess Diarist."

Jay-Z, who was nominated for eight awards, did not win any.

On the red carpet, many stars wore and carried white roses to show their solidarity with the #TimesUp movement. Singers including Miley Cyrus, P!nk and Kelly Clarkson each carried a single rose on the red carpet.

Kesha sang a powerful #MeToo message while supported on stage by fellow female artists.
