David Bowie posthumously won Best British Album for ‘Blackstar’, with the award presented by Noel Gallagher. Accepting the award, Bowie’s son Duncan Jones said: “I lost my dad last year but I also became a dad. He always supported people who are a little bit strange or different. This award is for all the kooks and those who make the kooks.”
