2008 Europe Music Awards Winners!

Though Britney Spears wasn’t on-hand to accept, she won two awards at the 2008 Europe Music Awards – for Album of the Year and Act of 2008. The other big winners of the night were VIP Bar hosts 30 Seconds To Mars, who also scooped up two awards for Rock Out and Video Star.

But the ultimate power of the audience vote was underlined when Rick Astley scooped Best Act Ever. Rick was not available to attend the Awards. In his absence, presenters Katy Perry and Perez Hilton charmed the audience with a quick dance routine to his famous track. In a statement, Astley said: ""I am honoured that my fans worked so hard to help me win Best Act Ever at the 2008 MTV Europe Music Awards. This is the first time I have been nominated for the EMAs and I would like to thank everyone who voted for me.""
