British Male Solo Artist
The first award, British Male Solo Artist, was presented to Plan B by Dizzee Rascal. Plan B later went onto perform his hit single She Said.
British Breakthrough Act
Tinie Tempah picked up the British Breakthrough Act gong, we thought it should have gone to The XX. But hey, we didn't vote.
International Album
Arcade Fire scored their first Brit Award when they picked up the International Album statue for their record The Suburbs. The eight piece stormed the stage and thanked the British bands that had completely changed their lives.
Critics Choice Awards
Jessie J was announced as the winner of the Critics Choice Award at the beginning of January, but gave a tearful speech on the night. We love the girl, and think the video for her single Price Tag says it all.
International Male Solo Artist
Forget You singer Cee Lo Green took home International Male Solo Artist. He performed his single Forget You with Paloma Faith at the end of the ceremony, breaking her dress in the middle of the act.
British Single
Tinie Tempah picked up his second award which was British Single for Pass Out.
International Group
Arcade Fire picked up their second Brit award of the night when they were presented with International Group.
International Breakthrough Act
To many girls delight, we're sure, Justin Bieber picked up International Breakthrough Act dragging his International Rep, Mike, up on stage.
British Female Solo Artist
Laura Marling picked up her first Brit tonight, which was also her first nomination, and said, 'There you go mum. That's for you...This is really weird."
British Group
Take That took home British Group with Mark Owen saying to Robbie Williams, "thanks for coming back mate."
International Female Solo Artist
Cheryl Cole presented Rihanna with the International Female Solo Artist gong. As if you need to remind yourself, here's Ten reasons we love Rihanna here at handbag.com.
Mastercard British Album Of The Year
And the winner of the biggest award of the night, British Album Of The Year, was Mumford and Sons. Sigh No More has sold over one million copies in the UK. The band will be supporting the night's other big winners, Arcade Fire, when they play in Hyde Park later in the year. The band said receiving the award was "bizarre and very strange".
