David Bowie was posthumously honoured with the nomination for his final album Blackstar which was released on his birthday in January just days before he passed away. The accolade went to The 1975's record I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It.
The awards, held at London's Roundhouse, were sponsored by secondary ticket site Stub Hub, however, this didn't stop many of the award winners attacking second ticketing websites (like Stub Hub).
James Bay, who won the gong for best solo act, was the first to say sorry from the stage.
"Apologies to my fans for ever having to deal with secondary ticketing sites," he said. "I hope we see the end of them. They definitely suck."
