Cincinnati Entertainment Awards: The winners

CINCINNATI - By CityBeat

It was another epic Cincinnati Entertainment Awards ceremony Sunday night at the Madison Theater, as a full house celebrated some of the best Greater Cincinnati music has to offer.

The show went off great, with some excellent live performances from nominees and lots of fun from new host Ted Clark.

Wussy — which has been on a serious roll since releasing the fantastic Strawberry near the end of 2011 (it made the cut-off for this year's awards, since the album came out around the same time as the last CEAs) — had the best night, taking home both the Artist of the Year and Album of the Year CEAs.

Congrats to all of the nominees and winners and everyone who showed up to party.
