It wasn't a great night for British talent with both Ed Sheeran and James Blake missing out to Macklemore and Lewis in the Best New Artist category. Calvin Harris also left empty-handed despite being nominated for Best Electronic Album and Best Dance Recording.

Seventeen-year-old New Zealander Lorde's debut hit 'Royals' scooped her two gongs for Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance.

However, Adele did win yet another award for her Bond theme, 'Skyfall', which took the prize for Best Song Written for Visual Media.

Many of the 82 winners were named at a preliminary ceremony before the show was televised.
