The Sun agrees with me (did I just type that? :stunned: ) they say the reason Coldplay were snubbed (and The Darkness) was because they didn't turn up! Grrr

Coldplay at back of awards Q
COLDPLAY were the surprise losers at this year’s Q Awards. They were nominated for four awards at last night’s ceremony but came away empty handed.
Instead, RADIOHEAD beat them to the title of Best Act In The World.
There was surprise that Coldplay also failed to pick up gongs for Best Single (Clocks), Best Video (The Scientist) and Best Live Performers.
The band — who recently picked up three prizes at the MTV Video Music Awards and have also scooped two Grammys — stayed away from the ceremony at London’s Park Lane Hotel saying they were taking a break after a year of touring.
CHRISTINA AGUILERA walked away with the Best Single for Dirrty, ELECTRIC SIX won best video for Gay Bar and ROBBIE WILLIAMS’s sell-out Knebworth gigs earned him Best Live Act.
BLUR won best album for Think Tank, while THE THRILLS picked up the Best New Act award and MUSE won the Innovation Award
The awards, hosted by RI:SE presenter IAIN LEE, also honoured some veteran bands.
THE CURE won the Inspiration Award, DEXY’S MIDNIGHT RUNNERS won the Songwriter Award and US rockers JANE’S ADDICTION won the Icon Award.
DURAN DURAN picked up a Lifetime Achievement gong — just as they did at the MTV awards in New York in August.
Guests at the bash included LIBERTY X, TRICKY and EMMA BUNTON. The Q Awards will be show on Channel 4 on Monday.
NEWTON'S THEORY
Silly snub is sign of the times
THIS is a bad year for the Q Awards, which is normally the most credible ceremony on the British music calendar.
Coldplay’s snub is plain silly.
We are talking about the global flagbearers for British music, arguably the world’s biggest rock band at the moment.
I wonder if the fact they couldn’t be at the ceremony had anything to do with the decision.
The UK’s most exciting rock band THE DARKNESS were similarly ignored (again, they couldn’t turn up) and gongs seem to have been handed out on the basis of an RSVP.
BLUR winning best album and MUSE’s innovation award are cases in point. Yes, CHRISTINA AGUILERA’s Dirrty is a great pop single — but the best of the year?
As for the turn out?
LIBERTY X, EMMA BUNTON, NICKI CHAPMAN and FIVE STAR — at times it felt like I was at the Smash Hits Awards.
Oh for the good old days when LIAM GALLAGHER squared up to DAMON ALBARN and Robbie.
The Q organisers need to be careful.
They risk today’s biggest stars turning their backs on what was once the coolest rock date in the calendar.

It's disapointing they didn't win any at all, but I don't think they'll dwell on it for ages.
Whoever decides who the winner's are must have a rock for a brain seriously...I mean GAY BAR won over The Scientist? Riiiiiiiighteo.

well I do love Radiohead and I've always thought they were the best band in the world but I like their old stuff better like 'The Bends' album, they have gotten too arty and they said they were going to return to guitar rock for their latest album but still didn't, they are liars. Coldplay is the best band at the moment Radiohead used to be.

Oh man... What's better at Radiohead than at Coldplay :confused:
And "dirrty" the best Single... nothing against Christina but this song is not nearly as good as "Clocks" :angry:
The Electric Six Video for "Gay Bar" is very funny... difficult decision... :confused:
But, believe me, Robbie is the better life act. He's probably the best live act in the world. Giving him the award is fair...

well I do love Radiohead and I've always thought they were the best band in the world but I like their old stuff better like 'The Bends' album, they have gotten too arty and they said they were going to return to guitar rock for their latest album but still didn't, they are liars. Coldplay is the best band at the moment Radiohead used to be.
When did Radiohead say that? I re-call Radiohead saying that theyre bringing guitars back into the rotation of song writing, and when 2+2=5 was leaked magazines such as Q said that Radiohead had returned to rock guitar. They hardly lied.
Besides, going back to guitar rock like the Bends would be too easy for a band as great as Radiohead, it would be too formulated and simple, like Coldplay.
To say it was an upset that Coldplay lost the Best Act in the World to the "undeserving evil" Radioheads, thats a bit unfair. Radiohead have only won it the past 3 years running.
The idea that the bands that didnt turn up didnt win awards seems kinda silly, like the editor or Q just looked out past the award curtain and pointed out a few bands in the front row, and it just turned out that Coldplay and the Darkness werent lucky enough to be pointed at.
Maybe Q see it the same way I do in terms of Coldplay. A Rush of Blood to the Head was realeased in such a way that the singles and videos from it could span TWO years of award ceremony's, I mean christ they musta won about 10 MTV awards from this album, just because theyre singles were convienantly spread out.
I can understand that Q are getting a little TOO poppy, I can live with the Sugababes and Beyonce being there, but people such as Niki Chapman or Liberty X is just too far.
