LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Latest on the 59th annual Grammy Awards being presented Sunday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles (all times local):

5:20 p.m.

Chance the Rapper is the winner of the Grammy Award for best new artist.

It’s been a big day for the newcomer, who won a Grammy for rap performance during the non-televised part of the awards ceremony. He is also nominated for best rap album.

His acceptance speech, in which he thanked God and his hometown of Chicago, didn’t feature any of the profanity he used during his earlier win, which he called “crazy.”
