Brit Awards 2007 Winners

Earlier today, the annual Brit Awards show took place at London's Earl's Court. The show can be considered the equivalent of the Grammy Awards show in the United States. And with more and more great new British talent conquering North America, it is worth watching the show to find out which acts the music-forward Brits favor.

Stand out moments of the night included a fun, loopy acceptance speech by Amy Winehouse (pictured above) who won for Best Female Artist, the Arctic Monkeys dressed up as the Village People to accept their award for Best British Group, The Killers' excellent life performance of "When You Were Young," Joss Stone's much-deserved shout out to Robbie Williams, Nelly Furtado run off the stage after winner for Best International Female Artist and Justin Timberlake asking people not to drink too much in his acceptance speech for the award for Best International Male Artist.

Robbie Williams was the butt of a few jokes made by presenter/comedian Russell Brand. Before introducing a live performance of Take That's "Patience," he joked that one of the reasons for Williams health issues is the unexpected success of the reunited Take That. But he added that things could quickly change in the land of pop music. "Robbie Williams could be prime minister by the end of the week, while Take That could be imprisoned for being the next shoe bombers," Brand quipped.
