Cee Lo Green, Gwyneth Paltrow, and the Muppets: This is how you upstage Lady Gaga: Take your spot at the piano in a giant, armored, bird-alien costume on a cartoonish outer space set.

And that green jacket! Eminem, Rihanna, and Dr. Dre: RiRi kicked things off like the perfect damsel in distress, and her slightly wacky dress was effing wonderful. Eminem is on top of his game. And while some are already complaining that Dr. Lady Gaga: Hatching out of a giant, clear egg was some serious Spinal Tap shit.

Rihanna and Drake: Points off for Drake failing to sell it at the beginning, but Rihanna totally took the song and ran with it.
