As you can see, the UK's finest; Amy Winehouse, swept the floor with the competition, picking up 5/6 of the awards she was nominated for. Most shocking was the fact she beat Rihanna to the title of record of the year.

One award not mentioned above is the 'Producer Of The Year Award' - which somehow went to Mark Ronson? I won't hate on his work, the man is extremely talented, have they never heard of Timbaland?

What Do You Think Of The Results?
