NME Awards: winners in full
Klaxons (pictured) and Jamie T were among the winners at last night's Shockwaves NME Awards, held at the doomed Hammersmith Palais.
The former scooped the middle finger in the Best New Band category, while Mr T took home the top prize in the Best Solo Artist field, beating off competition from Lily Allen who, a la the Brits, left with nothing.
Well, nearly nothing: Allen was voted the worst-dressed musical celebrity of the past 12 months by readers of NME. The nasty boys and girls.

John Peel Innovation Award
winners Enter Shikari???!!!!
I could never imagine Peel if he were alive today playing their kiddie emo schtick somehow.
Biggest villian: George bush
i cant think of anything
how depressing
I remember when these were an alternative to the Brits. Now look at them.
That Killers video is awful!
The Others won it one year
*shudder*
I loathe that video
director; look i can do this thing with skeletons
Brandon: Skeletons don't have moustaches
I loathe
the NME
Klaxons:
"oh ya and thanks to Noel for still fucking hating us"
Shut the fuck up you toffee nosed twat !
and the award for most pointless awards ceremony goes to...
i love how the actually trophies are a middle finger stuck up as if the shockwaves sponsored NME awards are such a fuck you to the mainstream.
did anyone see any of the actually thing; painful viewing.
Panic!
dont deserve worst band.
i think can think of much worse bands!!
Yeah most of the worse
bands won the best awards!
I don't trust anyone
who lets Matt Bellamy be awarded sexiest man.
Best Venue - Carling Brixton Academy
What the fuck?
didnt tim burton
direct that video? christ knows what he was thinking that day.
note..
the prefix 'carling'
yes
and that's what makes it terrible... unless of course it's his way of saying shit song, shit lyrics so I'll make a shit promo to highlight this fact. in which case it is the best video.
john peel is currently spinning in his grave..
John Peel Innovation Award - Enter Shikari
WTF?
That should be someone like..deerhoof?
Matt Bellamy…
…could possibly make me gay! Deserved award!
Pirates of the Caribbean: dead man's chest?!
That film is god-awful. This is a pile of poo.
yawn
The nominees were just as rubbish as well. My favourite story about this was the nme's one about the predictable "doherty controvesy". He got kicked out because he tried to steal a spoon. Yes, a spoon.
Who is Philip Hall?
Is he in The Twang?
who the hell
are The Twang?
Long Blondes
Radar award last year, signed to Rough Trade and doing well this year.
So depressing.
Who are NME's actual readership these days?
Muse? Best British Band?
MCR? Best International Artist? Makes me feel ill.
Who the fuck are 'the Twang' anyway?
What exactly makes Gerard Way a hero? Coping with going prematurely gray?
What exactly is good about the Brixton Academy?
God I could almost carry on for every award, props to Klaxons, Jamie T and the Mighty Boosh though.
Pirates of the Caribbean 2:
the epitome of rock'n'roll cool! Hahaha, and how exactly does fronting a godawful 'emo' band for 12-year-olds qualify one as heroic?
well, yes...
...but not, like, WHOA amazing.
Which, sadly, is expected of The Twang.
Difference:
I like The Long Blondes. They're refreshing.
I dislike The Twang. It's OFMGbad.
quite obviously because
all his spoons must be fucked from melting heroin in them. what a mong. not a lot more can be said for his emaciated charisma-vacuum of a girlfriend.
as for the awards - what a joke. to think, the NME used to be a credible source of alternative music information... oh wait, no it didn't.
Panic! Are the new cancer...
And the NME cant stand it.
OFMGbad
oh fuck my god bad?
Worst Dressed - Lily Allen
WTF SHE IS COOL
Even the shitty non-awards are wrong, jesus.
PS I cannot believe the cheek of naming it the John Peel Innovation Award.
Matt Bellamy? Ewww
Other than that, PREDICTABLE.
there's a crushing inevitably about all these nominees / winners
and also to the reactions on here about it. come on guys, we know they lost it years ago - if indeed they ever truly HAD it in the first place in most of our lifetimes. indie is popular, meaning they cover what sells and not what ought to. it's sad, but with so many other media out there who cares eh?
they might have well called it the "tesco checkout music awards for the slightly ill-informed" and avoided the heat...
The Long Blondes presenting the Radar awrd
were the only saving grace of what was an awful, awful piece of television.
Dorian: "The best band from Birmingham since Ocean Colour Scene.. (Kate laughs) . . . THE TWANG!!"
Oh I love that band, even when they're being a bit rude.
I'd like to hear
people's suggestions as opposed to simply blurt out terms of disgust/shock/revulsion.
And why is predictability so bad exactly? Would you have been happier if the horrors won best band?
Hasn't he won it
Every year since 1986, or does it just seem like it?
oops.
but.
yes.
A press officer and manager
He died a few years back, but his brother continues to run his management and PR company that he started....and guess what??? the company do the PR for The Twang....make of that what you will!!!!!!
I hate all award ceromonies
they are all just a giant pat on the back for the entire industry.
Gerard Way is lead singer of My Chemical Romance, and therefore really cant sing live.
I cant believe that the View won best track, ridiculous.
Speaking of ridiculous i am pleased that they at least voted for the mighty Boosh as best tv programme.
what the fuck is the difference
between my chemical romance and panic at the disco, exactly
There is plenty of difference
but to be basic one sings about death, black parades and cancer the other sings about doomed weddings and whatnot.
Basically they sound nothing like each other.
I'll freely admit that my above statement explaining the difference was by no means comprehensive but still...
I actually find P!ATD
faintly amusing, as opposed to MCR who are just cack.
And besides...
with the NME (readers), Best Band one year could easily become Worst Band the next... I'm crossing my fingers for Kasabian or Dirty Pretty Things in 2008!
I don't know if they were taking the piss,
but today in the times there was an article about these awards, and instead of putting a picture of Enter Shakari, they'd put one of Shakira.
Well, it made me laugh anyway.
huh?
Best International Band - My Chemical Romance
Hero Of The Year - Gerard Way, My Chemical Romance
Worst Band - Panic! At The Disco
Don't they basically come from the same school of shit emo tailor-made for fat teenagers in black eyeliner?
ha
yeah i saw it too. i was about to post it. made me laugh :)
This has made me very angry:
"John Peel Innovation Award - Enter Shikari"
I think I can hear the sound of a man turning in his grave.
Shambles
It was painful television "Rock stars" getting drunk, swearing to look hard and generally embarrassing themselves. Jarvis and Beth butchered that Temptation song aswel which was sad because i quite liked them pair.
Even though its a sham of an award it's nice to see the boosh lads out and about Naboo is rrreeally small!
the NME is such
shit. I bet they will not hear about this for years:
How little
you actually know..
I watched ten minutes
And ran from my friend's house screaming.
Awful television. Awful awards. Awful performances. At least Simon Pegg and Nick Frost made it bearable a couple of years back.
I'm sure...
The Arctic Monkeys won that award last year...?
and thus...
....the world still turns.
Mighty Boosh just encourages retards to dress like retards. Do any of those kids realise that Noel Fielding is the fall guy in that show? If I walked into Rescue Rooms dressed as Stan Laurel, would that be cool?
Infact, don't answer that.
i thought
him & moss were kicked out for trying to shag in an alleyway
did i read this here or at nme?
is it notable to
er, note just how drunk sarah "cleaning up" harding was presenting the first award?
or is it one of those 'no-one cares' things?
Painful
Painful to watch, painful to listen to, feel a little ashamed i watched most of it too.
what was with all the bad vibes and slagging off?
and the script was appalling, i only heard swearing, not laughing.
badly organised, badly informed, uninteresting bands.
cock
indeed
bravo for NME-haters, i love you all
'Brixton Academy' sponsored by 'Carling'
is the worst venue ive ever been to. fact. I went there again last night and it was terrible.
At least Mighty Boosh are getting some recognition.
Matt Bellamy
the sexiest man? Are you sure that's not a joke? LOL Even Matt himself wouldn't expect that, I am sure.
WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!!!!!
How did My Chemical Romance win Best International Band they're so useless, and Gerard Way won Hero Of The Year, that doesn't make any sence, the man dyed his hair white to look like a corpse!
john peel, philip hall....
...is it a coincidence that these people are dead, and therefore cannot protest to shit bands receiving awards under their name.
did anyone
notice how lauren laverne completely bombed? it was weird... they get this pseudo-witty presenter making gags to a hall full of gimps trying their hardest not to care. and when the editor came on, they were all talking over his speech as well. it's his fucking magazine! none of them cared. except for the radio presenters who were embarrassingly out of their element and came off like... just weird.
how is it that all of these bands, except for arctic monkeys, look like adam ant's filthy afterbirth, with stupid hairstyles, stupid shitty clothes that all look the same, and they all have to say fuck in every sentence. fuck...
bring back the spice girls!
It's because
he looked greasy in Supermassive Black Hole.
hmm
maybe strutting would, rescue rooms patrons find walking so passe
The only evident personality i saw that evening
was from Arctic Monkeys and Kasabian.
clang
Was all I heard during that bit...and the sound of tumbleweeds rushing through the venue...
if
I was writing an NME-awards pisstake, that's exactly what the list would have looked like.
...
I stopped reading at Muse are the best band in the UK
really though
best dressed faris rotter? *notes stupid name* he'd get beaten up down my way. pillock. anyone can go to a fancy dress party as robert smiith, no need to do it all year round.
I love you Mike
Based on witnessing their gig on Saturday, this band are so bad it's untrue.
Yeah,
It even got an oscar! Its so bad I didnt even watch it through to the end.
agree
vomit inducing.
I know this is the NME we're talking about
but arn't the awards supposed to be about music?
WTF kate moss?
what a bag of shite
at least the mighty boosh won the award. the rest is shit. i hate nme.
seriously
is anyone honestly surprised at any of these results? shit bands win shit awards in a shit paper read by shit-heads.
word
all that there
John Peel must be rotating furiously in his grave...
...at the winners of the innovation award.
Christ!!!
yeh, good work on being so innovative.
Just gonna stick on some 'Horse the Band'
Best Video - The Killers, 'Bones'
Ahahahaha
hahaha
hha
ha
so depressing...
i watched about 10 minutes before i came to the conclusion that going to bed would be more interesting.
newsflash to the nme - being unconscious is better than anything you can rustle up. oh dear.
he did
get beaten up down my way.
hmmmm, Jarvis and Beth
I missed the beth and Jarvis performance on E4 (of all channels, never anything that's worth my time watching) but caught it on Channel 4 and was trying to decipher what they were singing and where the tune was actually coming from and could only hear crashing guitars and Beth screaming and Jarvis dancing up and down like a lemon. Totally disappointed and now that they are recording and releasing the duet, I don't feel inspired to buy it. Was so looking forward to seeing Jarvis but was totally let down. I think I'll stick to his album.
But as for awards ceremonies, they are there to hate, ridicule and condemn and criticise, so what I have read so far, everone has it down to a tee!
Finally, Enter Shikari for Peel innovation award? I don't think Peel would touch them with a barge pole. Klaxons for 10 year olds
the funniest award of this whole list is...
Sexiest man - Matt Bellamy! hehehe.
Should have been Sexiest woman - Beth Ditto as well! What has Kate Moss got to do with anything to do with music - oh no wait she was married to a pop star wasn't she.
WTF
I know that you guys are pissed about kate bell and all, but has anyone noticed THESE TWO FUCKING CATEGORIES IN A MUSIC AWARD?
Villain Of The Year - George W Bush
Hero Of The Year - Gerard Way, My Chemical Romance
George Bush? Why the fuck is he in a music award show?
Worst Band - Panic! At The Disco
come on! are you kidding me? i actually believe that they are great! Who are the other nominees anyway? There are a lot worst band compared to them. MCR is even worse. oh yeah, and isn't it by March 2, they already dropped the exclamation point (!) to their name? :P it's gone like, since january 9. so yeah. DROP THE EXCLAMATION POINT!
this stuff isn't true. this NME award thing is bullshit.
