Even though it’s only 6:00 P.M. here in NYC, they’re already in the post-ceremony party portion of the annual Brit Awards, celebrating the best British and international music. In Grammy terms, Arctic Monkeys‘ Favourite Worst Nightmare = Herbie Hancock’s River: The Joni Letters and the Brits love Kanye. Paul McCartney, who was presented the Outstanding Contribution to Music award, performed a five-song set containing “Lady Madonna,” “Get Back,” and “Hey Jude” to close out the ceremony. If anything else noteworthy happened at the show, we’ll post about it tomorrow, but because we know you won’t be able to sleep tonight without knowing who brought home statuettes, the full slate of victors is after the jump.
