After sweeping up at the BRITS & The Grammys, Adele was nominated for four awards at this year's Ivor Novello's, taking away two; Songwriter of The Year and Most Performed Work of 2011 for 'Rolling In The Deep'. Ed Sheeran picked up Best Song Musically & Lyrically for 'The A-Team', beating off competition from 'Rolling In The Deep' & 'Shake It Out' by Florence & The Machine. PJ Harvey won Album of the Year award for 'Let England Shake', which was up against Adele's '21' & '50 Words For Snow By Kate Bush'.
Tonight was a good night for singer/songwriters at the Brits, with Adele & Ed Sheeran picking up 4 of the biggest awards at London's O2 Arena. Following her incredible 6 Grammys, the wonderful Adele came back home and took Best Female & the prestigious Best Album awards, with Ed Sheeran being named as Best Male & Best Breakthrough artist on his first visit to the ceremony. Many more to come for both in the future no doubt - check out the full list of winners after the jump.
Our very own Adele did us all proud last night by taking home an incredible 6 Grammys, and performing a big performance of her hit single 'Rolling In The Deep', which was her first time on stage since the throat surgery operation.

Following the controversy surrounding Skrillex's five Grammy nominations over the past few weeks, the superstar Dubstep producer/DJ has gone on to win 3 Grammy awards at tonight's ceremony, with 'Best New Artist' yet to be announced. Sonny Moore, 23, shot into the spotlight at the back end of 2010, with his heavy robotic sound capturing the hearts of many youngsters, and taking the much loved underground UK genre into the American mainstream. Adele pipped him to the 'Best Short Form Music Video', but he has still picked up 'Best Remixed Recording', 'Best Electronic/Dance Album' and 'Best Dance Recording'. As much as you may hate his music, he is without doubt one of the hardest working men in music right now, and this is a huge moment for Dubstep and the Electronic music scene as a whole. Kanye West has also won 3 awards in the pre-Grammy telecast for 'Best Rap Song', 'Best Rap Album', and 'Best Rap/Sung Collabo'. Stay tuned for the full list of award winners.
