Best BRIT Awards In Years Print E-mail

This year's Brit Awards were handed out at Earls Court in London last night and what a night it was!

Arctic Monkeys collected two BRIT awards dressed as country gents with tweed breeches, flat caps and pipes! 

Foo Fighters and resurrected boy band Take That also bagged an impressive two gongs each.Amy Winehouse put all her troubles behind her and blasted the show apart with an amazing performance of 'Valerie' with star producer Mark Ronson, who won the best British male award.

Other winners on the night included Kayne West for Best International Male Solo Artist, Kylie Minogue for Best International Female Solo Artist, Kate Nash for Best British Female Artist and Mika for Best British Break Through Act.

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne were billed as the event's hosts, but Ozzy did a bit of a disappearing act leaving his wife and daughter Kelly to do all the work!  He was there for the big kick-off at 8pm and introduced several bands, but as the night wore on, Ozzy wasn't seen at all.  His most notable contribution was introducing 'Mr Sir Paul McCartney' several minutes early... Oh dear.

Other performances on the night included the Kaiser Chiefs, Kylie Minogue and Rihanna.

Not the slickest of events, but definitely one of the most entertaining BRIT award ceremonies for years!
