Amy Whinehouse
Amy Winehouse pipped poor Lily Allen to the post for the top female award of the night. The singer, best known for her on and off stage drunken antics, chose to perform hit song \'Rehab\'. After Jo Whiley presented her with the gong, she proved she\'s not such a bad girl by thanking her parents
Best British Male Artist

James Morrison
James Morrison looked pretty pleased with himself after landing the award. The former busker topped the British charts last year with his debut album, \'Undiscovered\'. \'This one\'s for every singer-songwriter still playing in pubs,\' he said
Best British Group

Arctic Monkeys
For the second year running The Arctic Monkeys failed to show to collect their award. But they stunned fans by appearing on screen dressed as characters from The Wizard of Oz. The boys were adamant they weren\'t snubbing the event but were tied up filming their new single \'Brainstorm\'
Best British Album

The Arctic Monkeys
The Arctic Monkeys won the second big award of the night for their album, \'Whatever people say I am, that\'s what I\'m not\'. Yet again they opted for a video message but this time dressed as \'The Village People\'. Frontman Alex Turner, dressed as a sailor, said: \'We\'re very pleased. We\'ve had a lot of recognition but there\'s no doubt the Brits is a very special award.\'
Best British Single
celebrity,Take That,music,gigs,music awards
Take That
The night after Robbie checked in to rehab the rest of the Take That boys scooped the best single for \'Patience\'. Gary Barlow said the honour, voted for by viewers, was \'amazing\'. Strangely enough they failed to mention their former band mate who only managed a nomination for the best live act

Nelly Furtado
Nelly Furtado may have missed out at the Grammys but she bagged her first Brit gong. The Canadian singer put her success down to one of our top bands: \'I wouldn\'t be here if it wasn\'t for Oasis. I was inspired by their working-class roots because that\'s the kind of background I come from\'

Outstanding Contribution to Music
Noel Gallagher,celebrity,music,gigs,music awards
oasis
Oasis reminded everyone why we love them by performing a five-song set at the end of the night. And the band were suitably underwhelmed by the honour. \'Thank you very much. It\'s been a f***ing pleasure,\' said Noel Gallagher
Joss Stone
Robbie Williams,celebrity,music,music awards
Joss Stone
Joss Stone proved she\'s been spending far too much time in the States with her new and rather alarming soul sister persona. The newly brunette star was on stage to present the best male singer award when she declared: \'Big, big, big love to Robbie Williams for going through what he\'s going through right now because he\'s inspiring\'. The audience were eerily quiet
Lily Allen

Lily Allen
It was a bad night for Lily Allen. Despite being nominated for four awards she walked away empty handed. Luckily the snubbed singer had Dad Keith Allen on hand for a bit of consolation. Although he was the one who persuaded her to go to the bash in the first place
Corinne Bailey Rae

Corinne Bailey Rae
Corinne was another unlucky lady on the night, missing out on three awards. But the singer wasn\'t expecting to go home with any silver ware: \'I\'m really excited about playing but I wouldn\'t put any money on me to win anything\'
Russell Brand and Jarvis Cocker

Russell Brand and Jarvis Cocker
Brand didn\'t dissapoint at the award\'s first live screening in years. He pointed to a giant padlock behind him, saying it was \'Robbie Williams\' medicine cabinet\'. And then added, \'Let Me Entertain You - as long as you don\'t get 60 fags, 20 Redbulls and some happy pills to get into the mood\'. Jarvis Cocker proved better behaved than a few years ago when he \'mooned\' Michael Jackson

Sophie Ellis Bextor
Bextor was at the bash to show off her new skinny frame. Although we were saved from any singing as the \'Murder on the Dance Floor\' chanteusse was just there to present an award. It was obviously thirsty work because she was the last to leave the backstage bar
