MTV Europe Music Awards: winners in full

Depeche Mode were among the winners at last night's MTV Europe Music Awards.

The veteran synth-rock trio took home the award for the Best Group category at the Justin Timberlake-hosted event in Copenhagen. Recently in the news for totally non-musical reasons sort Madonna was nominated in three categories - Best Pop Act, Best Female and Best Album - yet won nothing.

Bo Selecta comic Avid Merrion mocked the singer, who didn't attend the ceremony anyway, by dressing as her and saying: “I’m getting too old for this shit. I’ve been getting a lot of hoo-ha from the press recently just because I bought a baby. But I’m Madonna. If I want to buy a baby, I buy a flipping baby.”

A flipping baby? Can little kids do that without gymnastic training? Only Africans? Cool.

Alongside Depeche Mode, the only other British winners were Muse, who triumphed in the Best Alternative Act category, and The Kooks won the award for Best UK and Ireland Act.

All award-winners were chosen by MTV viewers. The full list of winners, as advertised in that headline, is below...

Best Male Justin Timberlake
Best Group Depeche Mode
Best Hip-Hop Act Kanye West
Best Song Gnarls Barkley Crazy
Best Pop Act Justin Timberlake
Best Female Christina Aguilera
Best Rock Act The Killers
Best Alternative Act Muse
Best R&B Act Rihanna
Best Album Red Hot Chili Peppers Stadium Arcadium

They had a clip on XFM news this morning

of Kanye bumrushing the stage to complain that he didn't win Best Video, yelling "If I don't win, your awards show loses credibility." Have some DIGNITY, yo.

Best UK and Ireland Act

Should feature people from both countries.

So then at least Ash could've won something before Charlotte left.

usually Westlife used to win it.

3 points:

1) "Best Alternative Act : Muse"
An alternative to what exactly? The Killers? To be honest I'd rather eat my own head.

2) "Best R&B Act : Rihanna"
Who?

3) Impressive to see JT pick up 2 awards, consider he was hosting the night.

Why do the call these the Europe awards

if American acts can win them?

Surely they should just have one set of MTV awards if they aren't going to be area specific.
