The abomination known as the Classical Brits went down with, apparently, a few surprises and an amazing amount of bad style and bad hair.
A Welsh male choir won an award (Pope Benedict XVI was among the nominated), Rolando Villazon won -- check this out -- the Critics Award, Angela Gheorghiu and her cancellations won Female Artist of the Year.
The Daily Mail, appropriately, has the photos.
