The 35th annual Brit Awards kicks off tonight, and we'll be honouring the British equivalent of the Grammys with a live blog. With Ant and Dec back presenting after a 14-year absence we can't wait to check out their cheeky jokes, the musical numbers and of course, those cringe-worthy moments as someone inevitably gets too drunk, or decides to ramble on about something rather philosophical and boring in their acceptance speech.
With Kanye West set to perform tonight for the first time in nine years, as well as the likes of Madonna, Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran, it's shaping up to be one hell of a night. The main show streams live from the O2 Arena on ITV at 8pm, so keep checking back as we update you on all the winners, gossip, and scandal right as it happens.
We wonder who will win Video of the Year as voted for by the fans... *cough* One Direction (Brits/Facebook)
