NME Awards Winners - here they are!
JoeDiddly by Luke Slater February 23rd, 2011

Tonight the annual NME Awards took place in some place South of the river. In London, naturally. We weren't in attendance. There were some winners, even more losers and even more boozers. I'm sure a good time was had by all but as I type this I'm reliably informed that Dave Grohl is playing some songs from his new album for all to hear. Nobody wants that, Dave. Anyway, here are the winners, if you're interested.

Best British Band - Muse
Best International Band - My Chemical Romance
Best Solo Artist - Laura Marling
Best Live Band - Biffy Clyro
Best New Band - Hurts
Best Album - Arcade Fire The Suburbs
Best Track - Foals 'Spanish Sahara'
Best Video - My Chemical Romance - 'Na Na Na' (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)
Best Festival - Glastonbury
Best Dancefloor Filler - Professor Green - 'Jungle'
Best TV Show - Skins

Philip Hall Radar Award – The Naked & Famous
Teenage Cancer Trust Outstanding Contribution To Music – PJ Harvey
John Peel Award For Innovation – Crystal Castles
Godlike Genius – Dave Grohl

There were also other categories, some of which are unnecessary and the others of which are not all that necessary either. These weren't handed out on the night, by the way.

Best Film – Inception
Hero – Lady Gaga
Villain – David Cameron
Most Stylish – Brandon Flowers
Least Stylish – Justin Bieber
Worst Album – Justin Bieber - My World 2.0 Worst Band – Jonas Brothers
Hottest Man – Matt Bellamy
Hottest Woman – Alison Mosshart
