All the winners from the 2015 BRIT Awards

We don’t know about you, but we’re emotionally exhausted after the 2015 BRIT Awards last night. It’s a wonder how the likes of Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith and Royal Blood are holding up today.

Ed Sheeran 2015 BRIT Awards

The best of British were out in full force at The O2, as Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith topped the winners list with two gongs each. Ed won the Best British Solo Male and MasterCard British Album of the Year categories, while Sam collected British Breakthrough Act and BRITs Global Success awards (with a huge smile on his face, no less).

Royal Blood went on to triumph where some feared they wouldn’t, bagging the Best British Group award at the glitzy ceremony.

Paloma Faith and Mark Ronson also won our prize for best acceptance speeches, as they gushed over their own awards.
