Harris was named producer of the year, while his U.K. chart-topping collaboration with Lipa, “One Kiss,” was declared best British single.

When accepted the award for Best British Group, frontman Matty Healy called out “male misogynist acts” by quoting a 2015 essay written by UK music journalist Laura Snapes, which in turn was quoted in a more recent article about the allegations against Ryan Adams.

“I just want you to listen to me for one sec,” Healy said, “Just a couple of sentences that a friend of ours, Laura Snapes, said this, and I thought we should all really think about it.” He then read the below quote:

Male misogynist acts are examined for nuance and defended as traits of ‘difficult’ artists, [while] women and those who call them out are treated as hysterics who don’t understand art.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z sort of attend the Brits with a pre-recorded acceptance speech for the Best International Group category for their team-up The Carters. They stood in front of a portrait of Meghan Markle.
