Two Scoops For Arctic Monkeys at Q Awards

Arctic Monkeys stole the show alongside Oasis at the 2006 Q Awards yesterday - bagging two gongs each.

Prior to the awards ceremony which took place at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel, Arctic Monkeys were already leading the nominations, with four to their name, and managed to win two of the more prestigious awards: Best Album and the People's Award.

Meanwhile, Oasis received a double honour after being named the
Best Act In The World Today and Noel Gallagher was awarded the Classic Songwriter gong.

Speaking about his brother Liam, who did not turn up to the ceremony, Noel quipped:
"He’s gone to the zoo. The monkeys are bringing their kids to go and have a look at him."

"I guess I really should thank our kid for singing all these great songs – but as he’s not here, fuck him."

And, sticking to the Q Awards faith, Alex Turner didn't miss out the chance to cause a bit of a stir, as he stated:
A lot of people make jokes about having awards for no reason just for the sake of having awards, and pretending they were good when they weren’t,” he said."

"I’m not old enough to know a lot of them but even I know that Take That were bollocks!"

Mardy-Bum says: Take That, Take That!

But on a serious note, Arctic Monkeys didn't shy away from their excitement, posting on the official website:
We’ve had such a great year and are really enjoying ourselves. The Q Awards carry a lot of prestige amongst musicians, so we’re chuffed to get best album and the People’s Award.
