Just as we predicted in the nominations, the funky DJ duo, Daft Punk won the Best International Group award for their outstanding performance in hit tack, ‘Get Lucky’. The masked DJs were absent at the ceremony sending two masked persons to receive their award. Both acts are finally earning the recognition they deserve after 16 long years of persistence after the first Brits debut, it is no news the distinct DJs were given the prize.

One Direction singer, Harry Styles ran to the stage after a quick visit to the restroom almost missing out on the spotlight moment. He opened up to the crowd after dashing onto the stage, ”Sorry, I was having a wee, the toilets are ages away”. The singers received the Global Success Award for the second time time in a row.

Topping the performances of the evening was Beyonce’s surprise ‘XO’ performance. She seems to be in the mood for surprises as she delivered the ballad beautifully arousing cheers from the audience. The solemn performance was unlike the Grammys’ Drunk In Love steaming performance with hubby, Jay Z.
