Yes, that Lemar, the one off Fame Academy. We're gently surprised too, but then the keynote of this year's prizes seems to be a very, very conservative approach to dishing out the prizes. The winners in full:
Best Album - Lemar / Time To Grow
Best Hip Hop Act - Sway
Best R&B - John Legend
Best Single - Lethal B / Pow
Best UK Newcomer - Kano
UK Act - Lemar
Best Reggae - Damien Marley
Best African Act - Youssou N'Dour
Best jazz - Rhian Benson
Best "world music" Act - Daddy Yankee
Best Video - Snoop Dogg - Drop It Like It's Hot
Well, at least Joss Stone didn't win anything...
Nothing to do with, uh, perhaps he's like *there* to pick up his award? Perish the thought
