The winners room at the Brit Awards was taken over by bands this evening. Girls Aloud were incredibly excited to win Best British Single for "The Promise" and Kings of Leon picked up two gongs, for Best International Group and Best International Album. I was pleased to hear them dedicate their award to England, as I mentioned in my live blog with Scandalist earlier tonight. Katy Perry was there to pick up her Best International Female award, but Best International Male Kanye West couldn't make it. Duffy was the big winner of the night and had her arms full with three awards for Best British Female, Best British Breakthrough Act and Best Album. Coldplay, on the other hand, didn't get a single award but still wandered in to share in the others' glory. Check out the full list of winners after the jump.
