How's Mary J. Blige got a hip hop video anyway Kanye deserved to win for Good Life. I liked Erykah Badu's video too. Chris Brown is cheesier now than when he first came out, I can't get with it. Pussycat Dolls...so so. I'm not sure about Britney Spears Piece of Me, Gimme Me More was one hundred times better but I'm glad to see her looking how she did back when she was singing Slave 4 U. Britney is officially back!

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?
