The Brits 2004 Winners...
Below is a list of the winners (and the also-rans) for the 2004 Brit Awards last night. It was fun to watch it on TV albeit a little predictable outcomewise. Were there any real surprises?

I have one other question too. What exactly is a 'breakthrough artist'? Is that what used to be called a 'new-comer'?

(As a footnote, apparently model Naomi Campbell - who was supposed to present the British rock prize - didn't show because she was late for the three-hour ceremony, which began at 17:20. Silly cow.)
