From shocking award choices to a bizarre on-air gaffe, Sunday night's 53rd annual Grammy Awards provided no shortage of memorable moments for fans.

Here is a quick list of them, courtesy of Surge Desk.

1. Serene Branson gone viral
CBS 2 News reporter Serene Branson left viewers perplexed when she inexplicably began stumbling over her words during a pre-show segment. While Branson's gaffe initially seemed like just a goofy slip-up, Britain's Telegraph now says she was reportedly taken to a hospital for tests concerning the possibility she suffered a stroke.



2. Introducing Esperanza Spalding
Tough luck, Justin Bieber: The Grammy for best new artist went to little-known 26-year-old jazz bassist Esperanza Spalding.

3. Gaga over easy
The always original pop star arrived on the red carpet inside a gigantic egg. "Lady Gaga is in creative embryonic stage and won't be born until this evening," one of her escorts explained.



4. More problems for Christina Aguilera
Christina Aguilera is having a tough few weeks. Just days after fumbling through "The Star- Spangled Banner" at the Super Bowl, Aguilera tripped onstage following a Grammy tribute to Aretha Franklin.



5. Arcade Fire wins album of the year
The Canadian alt-rockers shocked audiences by beating out Lady Gaga and Eminem to take home the prestigious Album of the Year honor with their record "The Suburbs."
