"Many Photos" - Childish Gambino's This Is America triumphs with four Grammy wins

Donald Glover's This Is America, which featured a violent and wildly experimental music video, was a big winner at the Grammy Awards on Sunday night.  

The 35-year-old Childish Gambino artist walked away with four honors for the track. 

The reclusive comedian and musician skipped out on the big day, so his Childish Gambino collaborator Ludwig Göransson accepted his final award for Record of the Year on behalf of all his collaborators.

After his early win for Best Music Video before the ceremony, the former Community star won three more high-profile honors from the Recording Academy, including Song of the Year and Record of the Year, two of the four most prestigious Grammys.

The Song of the Year award, which is presented to songwriters and lyricists, was awarded to Donald and his co-writers Ludwig Göransson and Jefferey Lamar Williams, better known as Young Thug.

Record of the Year honors the performers and engineers involved in making a song. 

Childish Gambino also won for Best Rap/Sung Performance, where he squared off against Christina Aguilera, 6lack, Kendrick Lamar, SZA and Post Malone.

Donald's song was previously honored with the Best Hip Hop Video and Impact Track awards at the 2018 BET Hip Hop awards.

It also walked away with honors for Best Video with a Social Message, Best Choreography and Best Direction at the MTV VIdeo Music Awards.

The Atlanta star's song and video sparked a bevy of conversation thanks to its politically charged content.

Socially conscious: Donald and Hiro's video was inspired by the early American tradition of minstrelsy, offensive racist depictions of African American people

Donald's video, directed by Hiro Murai, was inspired by the early American tradition of minstrelsy, offensive racist depictions of African American people.

The future Lion King star also adopted dance poses associated with the Jim Crow caricature.

This Is America also featured critiques of American gun violence and mass shootings via Donald's use of a handgun and a Kalashnikov rifle.

Out of nowhere: Donald surprise released the track on May 5, 2018, during a live performance of the same song on SNL; pictured in September

Childish Gambino competed for the Song of the Year award against Apes*** by The Carters (Beyoncé and Jay-Z), I'm Not Racist by Joyner Lucas, PYNK by Janelle Monáe and MUMBO JUMBO by Tierra Whack.

Hiro, who also directs most Atlanta episodes, dedicated the Best Music Video award to Donald Glover Sr., who died late last year.

Donald is currently at work on a new Childish Gambino album with his regular collaborator Ludwig Göransson.
