Do you think Ed Sheeran's the biggest star in the world right now? He's not. According to Q Magazine - Foals are. And they'd be right, too. Sheeran didn't go away empty handed, however, winning Best Solo Artist. Mark Ronson was voted Best Hero, Best Album was nabbed by Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds for Chasing Yesterday, while Best Video when to Florence + The Machine - Ship To Wreck.
Then things took a decidedly (and always welcomed) 80s turn, with everyone from Duran Duran, to New Order, to Gary Numan grabbing gongs all over the shop.
