Without a doubt, it's the biggest night of the music calendar - the BRIT Awards and this is how the awards ended up for 2010.....

Most memorable BRITs performance - The Spice Girls

British Male Solo Artist - Dizzee Rascal

British Male Solo Artist - Dizzee Rascal couldn’t have been happier as he strode up to collect his BRIT for Best British Male Solo artist. Presented by actor Andy Serkis, the rapper took his opportunity on the mic to thank friends and family. “It’s about time as well”, he said. “I want to thank the family, the dirtee stank family. They’ve been integral. There’s too many to mention! Respect”.

BRITs Album of 30 Years - Oasis - (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?

Oasis won the Best British Album Of The Last 30 Years for their second album ‘(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?’. Despite rumours to the contrary, Liam Gallagher arrived at the award ceremony to collect the award. The frontman accepted the award with his usual ‘charm’. Thanking former bandmates Bonehead, Guigs and Alan White, brother Noel was left off his list.

British Breakthrough Act - JLS

Presented by a radiant Geri Halliwell, the prize for Best British Breakthrough was bagged by pop sensations JLS. The chaps were overcome with emotion and couldn't believe that their story was only 18 months old. "This one's for you tonight", they said. "You guys are absolutely unbelievable, we love every single one of you." Ooh, that means us!

International Male Solo Artist - Jay-Z

Presented by Mel B - the award went to Jay-Z, who took the prize to a huge ovation from the Earls Court crowd. Clad in a VERY sharp suit, the rapper gave "props" to Glaston-berry, proving "hip hop could play anywhere in the world", plus he thanked the Spice Girls for inspiring him. No, really!

British Group - Kasabian

A triumphant Kasabian strutted onstage to take the Best British Group award. The band were clearly chuffed, and overcome with emotion  - so much so, singer Tom Meighan fell over. Recovering quickly, he made a cryptic comment that "You can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs." Too true, sir. We think.

International Breakthrough Act - Lady Gaga

Lady Ga Ga Wins International Breakthrough Act. Not the biggest surprise of the night, but Lady Ga Ga walks away with the International Breakthrough gong. Lady Ga Ga, dressed in an exotic Alexander McQueen creation, gave the most heartfelt speech of the night while collecting the award for Best International Breakthrough Act.
 
It wasn’t the biggest surprise of the night, but Lady Ga Ga was clearly moved to tears while thanking her friends and family. She left her most touching words for her fans. "To my fans" Thank you for believing in me. I’ll always believe in you”. Other artists nominated for the award were: Animal Collective, Daniel Merriweather, Empire of The Sun, Taylor Swift.

British Single - JLS - Beat Again

Well, surely GaGa couldn't win this one. She's not British. So it was that JLS stormed away with another BRIT, thus snatching the gong away from Cheryl at the last moment. Taking the award from comedian Alan Carr, "We can't believe that we're here right now," said the lads, giving Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh a special shout-out, too. Good work fellas.

International Female Solo Artist - Lady Gaga

Presented by a "blinged up" Jonathan Ross, it was a second award for La GaGa, who still hasn't had a costume change. Boo. Anyway, the Lady was once again pleased to receive a coveted BRIT, adding "I love my fans so much." We love you, too GaGa.
 

British Female Solo Artist - Lily Allen

Dame Shirley Bassey won this award in 1977 - crikey. Now she's had the chance to present it to none other than Lily Allen. Dressed in her third wig of the night, a giggling Lil claimed she wore the orange hair so that "It would make it harder for the cameramen to find me and catch my disappointed face." Wrong!

International Album - Lady Gaga - The Fame 

Lady Gaga’s Hat Trick! - Lady Gaga wins Best International Album to make it a clean sweep. Best International Album goes to Lady Gaga. It crowns a triumphant night for the New Yorker who makes it three gongs out of three.In another touching speech, Lady Gaga collects the award with dignity and another few choice words.
 
“I was really excited to win the first two awards”, she said. “But this means so much because I worked on this album for so long”.
 
For the best International Album, Lady Gaga fought off stiff competition from Animal Collective, Black Eyed Peas, Empire Of The Sun and Jay-Z.

MasterCard British Album - Florence & the Machine - Lungs

The brilliant album by Florence And The Machine is awarded the prestigious gong.Despite losing out in two categories, Florence And The Machine finally makes good by winning the biggest award of the night. Her brilliant debut album, ‘Lungs’, scooped the MasterCard British Album.
 
The win brings Florence’s BRIT total to two, having won The Critics Choice Award last year. There was stiff competition once again in the MasterCard British Album category, with Dizzee Rascal, Lily Allen, Kasabian and Paolo Nutini losing out to Florence.
 

Critics' Choice - Ellie Goulding

A shimmering Courtney Love of Hole presented Ellie Goulding with the Critics Choice Award. Young Ellie, clad in the finest turquoise (or was it teal?) said, "This is mental!" and admitted that she nearly took her shoes off in case she fell over and made a numpty of herself. Clearly delighted to be there, Ellie joins Adele and Florence And The Machine in receiving this prestigious award.
