"Thanks everybody and thanks everybody upstairs too," said Alex Turner addressing the other contenders in the category who sat upstairs. "Ta ta!" The frontman took the prize from model Agyness Deyne, who joked that he was late to the stage because his girlfriend Alexa Chung had food poisoning. In the International tally meanwhile, The Killers was crowned Best International Band and Nirvana's "Unplugged in New York" was deemed Best Music DVD. In an interesting result, Britney Spears' "Blackout" was voted Worst Album.
