Ignoring the ridiculous tongue-in-cheek awards, I'm happy with these results:

- My #1 song won song of the year
- My #2 album won album of the year
- My #2 live act won live band of the year.

I'm always confused by NME...seems like they're torn between being credible and just as bad as Rolling Stone.

Yeah, I think they're trying to combine credibility with entertainment to get noticed... Where-as most other awards shows go for one or the other.

At least they got best track correct. And here's for Nick Clegg as villain of the year ahead of the Cameronater.

Lol Black Swan = roller coaster? I think not. I mean it was good for what it was but not as ground breaking as I thought Inception was.

@conradtao

Notice I said BS wasn't as groundbreaking as inception. Which to put it more simply I thought exploration of dreams and stealing ideas was much more thought provoking than a chick getting too intimate with a part in a ballet and whoring herself out and committing murder.

That being sad, maybe groundbreaking was the improper term. Is far and beyond more interesting than most movies put out these days better?

@nash fair enough, although I wouldn't even go that far. That said, for one of the most profitable films of the year, Inception was fairly interesting, if not thought provoking in the slightest.

I honestly have no idea what relevance NME even holds anymore, if it holds any.

oh shut the fuck up black swan was better in execution, acting, and storyline even with their limited budget. inception had better directing but it was still really close. plus black swan had my jaw on the floor by the end and inception only had to like my knees or something. both were extremely good tho.

I just don't understand how black swan makes your jaw drop. Other than the fact that the dude always takes "raunchy" to the next level. Execution (I'm not even sure what that means), acting maybe, storyline definitely not.

And as for DaveyBoy... of course you are. It was your favorite song of the year. But I don't hear that song and think holy shit awesome. I think that was solid.

EDIT: I know what execution means, just not in relation to the topic. Like getting the point across maybe?

^ I was awaiting that comment, because everyone backing black swan is backing it for that reason. Remove the lesbo scene, and the movie goes to sub par.
