The ceremony, hosted by Paul Simon, took place at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York and included guests Bruce Springsteen, John Legend, Michael Douglas and Michael J. Fox.

Other musicians at the ceremony included Elton John, who presented an award to Leon Russell who he collaborated with on the album 'The Union' last year.
