DETROIT - Eminem won Grammys in two of the three categories in which the Michigan rapper was nominated.
He took home the Grammy for best rap album for "Relapse" and best rap performance by a duo or group for his "Crack a Bottle" collaboration with Dr. Dre and 50 Cent.
The Detroit Free Press says Eminem's only setback was in the best rap solo performance in which his single "Beautiful" lost to Jay-Z's "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)."
The Grammy ceremony was held Sunday night in Los Angeles.

John and Edward want to work with Eminem
X Factor star John and Edward Grimes have revealed that they would like to work with rappers Eminem, 50 Cent and the late Tupac. The Irish twins are managed by mentor Louis Walsh.
The 18-year-olds are to release their debut single `Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby)' with Vanilla Ice on January 31.
Jedward have admitted that they would like to work with more hip-hop acts.Speaking to MTV, Edward said: "We would like to collaborate with Eminem, 50 Cent, Tupac, even though he's dead.
Talking about their duet with Vanilla Ice, John said: "When the song 'Ice Ice Baby' first came out, we weren't even born but always knew the riff to it and I can't believe we are collaborating with him on it."
Vanilla Ice recently admitted that he had not heard of Jedward until he watched the boy's performances online.
He told ITN: "I think they're great. I didn't know anything about them until a couple of weeks ago - but YouTube is a great thing.
"I got the invite to come over here. The song is great and it is a compliment to me."
Asked if he would be touring with the lads, he replied: "We don't know yet.
"There is so much being thrown right now at these guys. They are young and have so much nervous energy and I'm just feeding off that."

EminƎm Lil Wayne Drake & Barker To Team For Grammys
Eminem, Lil Wayne, Drake and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker will come together for a “special performance” on this Sunday’s Grammy Awards, the official Grammy Twitter revealed this morning. Based on the talent involved, it’s safe to assume the rappers will perform a rocked-up rendition of their hit “Forever,” which was overlooked in for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration. However, the fourth rapper featured on that track, Kanye West, was not added as a performer, even though West is a nominee on three of the five songs that are up for the Best Rap Collaboration Grammy. Perhaps producers feared another “incident.” As it stands now, the performance will also likely be Lil Wayne’s last major television appearance before he heads off to prison in February.

Lebron James Raps To Eminem Forever Verse
Near the end of the Cavaliers 93-87 win over the Lakers on Thursday, LeBron James let loose and started rapping Eminem’s verse in the Drake song “Forever.”Like many young athletes I’m sure LeBron grew up listening to Eminem and he probably has all of his songs memorized. I don’t expect him to break out and start singing Frank Sinatra stuff any time soon.
Grammy countdown: Is Eminem's 'Relapse' a lock for best rap album?
The category: Best rap album
The field at a glance: Three of the last five years, the best rap album went to Kanye West. During the eligibility period for the 2010 awards, West drifted from his hip-hop past, offering up a collection of moody pop with "808s and Heartbreak," and thus opening up the rap album field.
But West isn't the only superstar absent from this category. Due to a one-month advance in the eligibility period from Sept. 31 to Aug. 31, Jay-Z's "The Blueprint 3" missed the window to be considered for the 2010 awards, having been released on Sept. 8. The omission of the 2010 Coachella headliner will be felt, as the album has sold more than 1.5 million copies in just four months, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
What's left, however, is a rather broad snapshot of hip-hop over 2009. Flo Rida maintained his dominance as a singles artist, as his "Right Round" featuring Ke$ha sold more than 4 million downloads throughout 2009. His album "R.O.O.T.S.," however, didn't make the same impact as its individual cuts.
Introspective rapper and perennial nominee Common went the party route with his more lighthearted "Universal Mind Control," and indie-minded artists such as Mos Def and Q-Tip are also represented in the field. Q-Tip's album, "The Renaissance," was released in late 2008 and featured him melding hip-hop and neo-soul, as well as working with an impressive group of collaborators including Norah Jones and Nelly Furtado. It should be the kind of easily approachable album Grammy voters love, but it's far from the biggest success in the category, as Eminem's first album in five years, "Relapse," rounds out the field.
And the Grammy goes to: Book it for Eminem. Though some of the rapper's outrageous attacks at times felt a bit dated or obvious (Jessica Simpson? Hannah Montana?), the album still achieved the kind of sales success that voters won't pass up. To date, the spring release has sold more than 1.75 million copies, and whether making borderline violent videos or lashing out at Mariah Carey, Eminem proved to still be adept at garnering headlines. Q-Tip deserves it, but Eminem will get his fourth best rap album Grammy on Jan. 31.
