Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Beyonce and Eminem are some of the early winners at the 2010 Grammy Awards.

Lady Gaga's hit single Poker Face beat Madonna and Britney Spears for Best Dance Recording. In the Best Electronic/Dance Album category, Gaga's The Fame triumphed over the discs of LMFAO, David Guetta, the Pet Shop Boys and others.

Swift was nominated for eight total Grammys, and she's already won two of them. The country superstar won the Best Female Country Vocal Performance for White Horse over Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert. Swift also came out on top in the Best Country Song category for White Horse.

Nominated for 10 total awards, the most by any artist this year,  Beyoncé took home four early awards. Single Ladies triumphed over Jamie Foxx and T-Pain, Maxwell and Jazmine Sullivan. Beyoncé also beat T-Pain and Foxx for Best Contemporary R&B Album (I Am ... Sasha Fierce). In the Best Female R&B Vocal Performance category, the singer's Single Ladies beat out tunes from Melanie Fiona and others. Her At Last cover came out on top for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance over songs from Anthony Hamilton and Ann Nesby.

Beyoncé's husband also took home some pre-show awards. Jay-Z won for Best Rap Solo Performance (D.O.A. [Death of Auto-Tune]) and Best Rap Song (Run This Town). He shared that second award with Kanye West and Rihanna.

Eminem won twice as well: Best Rap Album ( Relapse) and Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group (Crack a Bottle), along with Dr. Dre and 50 Cent.

The Black Eyed Peas already have a slew of wins, from Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals (I Gotta Feeling) to Best Pop Vocal Album (The E.N.D.) to Best Short Form Video (Boom Boom Pow).

Earlier in the evening, Gaga nabbed two wins (Best Dance Recording and Best Electronic/Dance Album), as did Taylor Swift (Best Female Country Vocal Performance and Best Country Song category). The Twilight soundtrack lost out twice to sounds from Slumdog Millionaire."
