His assault on the music world continues at today’s Grammys.

More Gotye More Gotye

Australia's Gotye has scored three Grammy Awards at today's ceremony in Los Angeles, including the massive Record Of The Year award.

His hugely successful hit single Somebody That I Used To Know, which he performed in duet with Kimbra, has been announced as the Record Of The Year at this afternoon's ceremony.

The song beat out Taylor Swift (We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together), Frank Ocean (Thinkin Bout You), The Black Keys (Lonely Boy), Kelly Clarkson (Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)) and fun. featuring Janelle Monáe (We Are Young) to win the massive award.

The award was presented by none other than Prince, who Gotye thanked for his music and inspiration when accepting the award.

Earlier today, his Making Mirrors album scored him the prize for Best Alternative Album and Somebody That I Used To Know, also took the award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, making it a clean sweep for Gotye who won each award he was nominated for.

He beat out stiff competition to take out the first two; Florence & The Machine (Shake It Out), Fun. Featuring Janelle Monáe (We Are Young), LMFAO (Sexy And I Know It) and Maroon 5 & Wiz Khalifa (Payphone) were all up for the Pop Duo/Group Perforance award.

He took on Fiona Apple's The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than The Driver Of The Screw And Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do, Björk's Biophilia, M83's Hurry Up, We're Dreaming and Tom Waits' Bad As Me for Best Alternative Album.

Other Aussies up for awards today haven't been so lucky, with the Axwell remix of Ivan Gough & Feenixpawl Featuring Georgi Kay's In My Mind and the Tommy Trash remix of Deadmau5's The Veldt both losing out to Skrillex & Nero's remix of the Nero track Promises in the Best Remixed Recording category.

In other Grammy news, Future bound rock-pop outfit Fun. won Song Of The Year with We Are Young, which featured Janelle Monae. They also picked up Best New Artist. And in perhaps the biggest upset of the ceremony, the coveted Album Of The Year went to Mumford & Sons for Babel, despite R&B singer Frank Ocean heading into the event as the favourite with his acclaimed Channel Orange. He still picked up a gong for Best Urban Contemporary Album though.
