LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Bob Dylan, whose latest chart-topping release failed to secure a Grammy nomination for the coveted album of the year, picked up two consolation prizes at the awards ceremony on Sunday.

The rock icon's "Modern Times" was named best contemporary folk/Americana album.

His composition "Someday Baby," used for an iPod television commercial last year, also won for solo rock vocal performance. But the tune lost the rock song race to the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Dani California."

Dylan was not present at the ceremony to receive the statuette.

His career haul stands at 10. He previously won the contemporary folk Grammy in 1998 for "Time Out of Mind," which was named album of year, and in 2002 for "Love and Theft," which was nominated for the top album prize.

He won the rock vocal Grammy in 1980 for his gospel tune "Gotta Serve Somebody."

"Modern Times," his first album since "Love and Theft," debuted at No. 1 on the U.S. pop charts last September. At 65, Dylan became the oldest living person to achieve this feat.
