Celebrities were actually given 'consolation puppies' at the Grammys

Okay, so instead of a prestigious award they got a puppy.

At the Grammys on Sunday, host James Corden didn't just dish out those little golden gramophones. "Consolation puppies" were handed out to nominees who didn't win their category.

Jerry Seinfeld (who was nominated for Best Comedy Album) was given a puppy called Roxy and Corden described her as "a biter".
