Brit Awards 2024: The real winners and losers

The 2024 Brit Awards, held on January 24th, 2024, generated a lot of discussion beyond just who took home the trophies. Here's a summary of what some media outlets considered the "real winners and losers" of the night:

Winners:

  • Raye: The singer made history by becoming the first artist to receive seven nominations in a single year. She also went on to win two awards, including the prestigious Songwriter of the Year award.
  • Calvin Harris & Ellie Goulding: Their collaboration, "Miracle," received the award for Song of the Year.
  • International artists: The category for International Song of the Year went to SZA for her song "Kill Bill," breaking the trend of British artists historically dominating the category.
  • Charli XCX (despite not winning an award): Although she didn't take home a trophy, her bold and unconventional outfit stole the show for many viewers, solidifying her reputation as a fashion icon.
  • Joe Keery: Though not originally on the spotlight, the actor, known for his role in "Stranger Things," surprised many with his engaging performance as a presenter.


Losers:

  • Artists with multiple nominations, but no wins: Several artists received nominations, such as Wet Leg, Dua Lipa, and Dave, but ultimately went home empty-handed.
  • British artists in the International Song of the Year category: British artists, who usually dominate the category, were shut out this year, with the award going to SZA, as mentioned above.

It's important to remember that these are subjective opinions from specific sources, and the true "winners" and "losers" are often a matter of individual perspective. The awards ceremony is meant to celebrate achievements in the British music industry, and each individual's experience of the event will be shaped by their own preferences and biases.

  Piers Morgan Sensationally Names ‘Royal Racists’ on British TV Piers Morgan has made headlines for his comments about the British royal family, including his recent remarks about alleged "royal racists. " In a Dutch book titled "De Familiegeheimmen van de Windsors" ("The Family Secrets of the Windsors"), the author claims that several members of the royal family made racist remarks about Meghan Markle, Prince Harry's wife. Morgan has said that he believes the allegations in the book and has called for the royal family to be held accountable. Morgan's comments have sparked a great deal of debate, with some people agreeing with him and others criticizing him for being insensitive and disrespectful. Some people have also accused Morgan of being hypocritical, given his own history of making controversial and offensive statements. It is important to note that the allegations in the Dutch book have not been independently verified, and the royal fam

Second member of Royal Family ‘is named as racist’ in Dutch translation of Endgame

  Second member of Royal Family ‘is named as racist’ in Dutch translation of Endgame In a controversial turn of events, the Dutch translation of Omid Scobie's book "Endgame" has apparently named a second member of the British Royal Family as being involved in a racist conversation about Prince Archie's skin color. The identity of the second individual has not been publicly released, but the revelation has sparked further outrage and calls for accountability within the monarchy. This latest development comes after the Dutch translation of "Endgame" was pulled from shelves earlier this week after it named another royal as the one who allegedly inquired about Archie's skin tone before he was born. This incident caused a stir, prompting Buckingham Palace to issue a statement denying the allegations and expressing concern about the potential harm caused by the book's content. The emergence of a second royal's name in the Dutch translation has deepened

  Gript article that wrongly identified Parnell Square stabbing suspect is removed from site An article published by the online news site Gript on Monday, November 27, 2023, which wrongly identified a man as the suspect in the Parnell Square stabbing, has been removed from the site.
