Shakira scoops the Latin Grammys
If the idea of the Latin Grammy awards is to suggest there's much more to American latin pop than just Shakira, it might not have been such a good idea to give all the prizes to Shakira. We recognise they do have a bit of a problem, though - give prizes away from the few crossovers, and nobody would take any notice of the awards at all; but if you give prizes to stars who already have made the leap across, you're not really promoting anyone else. (Of course, this does make the cynical assumption that awards ceremonies are about selling more records rather than awarding artistic achievement.)
The winners in full, then:

What a farce! La Oreja de Van Gogh release one of the finest pop albums ever made (in ANY language), which has also sold bucket-fulls, and yet still get fobbed off with a single "best pop album" gong; while Shakira releases an album which not even her own mother can think is anything other than the third-best album she has made, and she walks away with everything...
