Adele, Emeli Sande and Ben Howard have been honoured at this year's Brit Awards ceremony at London's O2 Arena.
Sande won best British female and British album, while Howard scooped best British male and breakthrough.
Adele won best single for her James Bond theme Skyfall - but she was not at the event, instead choosing to rehearse for the Oscars in Los Angeles.
She sent a video message referring to last year's ceremony, when her best album acceptance speech was cut short.
"Thank you so much for this Brit Award, it means a lot," she said.
"Sorry I can't be with you tonight, I'm in LA rehearsing for the Oscars. I won't keep you too long because I don't want to interrupt the best album speech at the end of the night. But I love you all."

Sande had gone into the event with four nominations in total, including two in the best single category. Her triumph in the best British female category meant there was no posthumous win for Amy Winehouse.
Accepting the best album statuette, Sande spoke of herself as "a very unlikely pop star".
