Music and Awards do not go together

Taken from BBC News-
"...and Kanye West collected the best hip hop act award.

"This is amazing for me to be recognised this far away from America," said West.

But after missing out on the best video award, to Justice Vs Simian for We Are Your Friends, West returned to the stage to say: "Best video should have been mine. I should have won."

Best video was the only category not chosen by MTV viewers, and West claimed it had been awarded as a "spreading-the-wealth type thing". "
Music fans the world over will probably be annoyed at the majority of the winners this last week at the MTV Europe Music Awards, and I know i'm one. Muse deservedly won Best Alternative Act, and The Kooks the Best UK & Ireland Act, but in my opinion Kanye was lucky he won one at all.

What an arrogant **** of a man, at least he was nominated while far superior acts once again go unnoticed. It's MTV, and and as usual it's terrible programming, but at least they could make an effort to improve themselves, not least on their "Awards". And this is all without throwing the wall-to-wall-dating-shows into my argument against them -something you definitely don't want me to get started on.
