Australian band Tame Impala nabbed the country's only trophy at the 68th annual Grammy Awards, which kicked off on Monday morning in Los Angeles.
The psychedelic act, led by Perth-raised Kevin Parker, won Best Dance/Electronic Recording with the song End of Summer.
The artist claimed the same honour last year thanks to a collaboration with French electronic duo Justice on the song Neverender.
Melbourne punk group Amyl and the Sniffers missed out in the Best Rock performance category, won by Yungblud. Sydney electronic trio Rüfüs Du Sol was up for Best Dance/Electronic Album but lost out to FKA Twigs.
Album of the Year went to Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny for last year's Debí Tirar Más Fotos (which translates as I Should Have Taken More Pictures), beating out Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, Clipse, Lady Gaga, Kendrick Lamar, Leon Thomas and Tyler, the Creator.
The win has made history as the first Spanish-language album to receive the award.
"I want to dedicate this award to all the people who had to leave their homeland, their country, to follow their dreams," the rapper said during his acceptance speech, which was mostly delivered in Spanish.
He was one of several artists who used their win to speak out against United States President Donald Trump's sweeping immigration crackdown.
After winning Best Música Urbana Album, Bad Bunny criticised the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which has been deployed in several cities since Trump took office last year.
"We're not savage. We're not animals. We're not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans," the rapper said.
Song of the Year went to Billie Eilish and her brother and collaborator Finneas for Eilish's song Wildflower.
"As grateful as I feel, I honestly don’t feel like I need to say anything, but that no one is illegal on stolen land," Eilish said. "I feel like we need to keep fighting and keep speaking up and keep protesting."
English singer Olivia Dean, who recently topped Australia's triple j Hottest 100 countdown with her hit Man I Need, won the Grammy for Best New Artist.
"I'm up here as a granddaughter of an immigrant," Dean said while accepting the award. "I'm a product of bravery, and I think those people deserve to be celebrated."
Lamar won Record of the Year for his single Luther featuring R&B singer SZA — his fifth award of the night. That brings the rapper's Grammy awards tally to 27, surpassing the previous record of 25, held by Jay-Z.
The Grammys were hosted this year by comedian Trevor Noah, featuring performances by Lady Gaga, Bieber, Carpenter and more.
There were 95 different categories at this year's awards show. Lamar had the most nominations this year, up for nine categories, while Lady Gaga had the second-highest number with seven.
