Some Alternative Music Awards

Sexiest Female
Winner: Marina Diamandis

Just... just look at her.
Runner-Up: Sunday Girl

Most Terrifying Male
'Winner': Twin Shadow

It's like some drunk scientist decided to genetically engineer clones of Pablo Escobar and Ben Esser, but could only afford one test tube.
'Runner-Up': Twista

Best Album Artwork
Winner: Black Noise by Pantha Du Prince

A perfect visual summary of Pantha's brush-stroke-landscaped house.
Runner-Up: The Resistance by Muse

Best Track Title
Winner: Animal Arithmetic by Jonsi
Bringing to mind Noah's mental workout keeping track of all his passengers
Runner-Up: Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks by The National

Biggest Disappointment
'Winner': Wu-Massacre by Method Man, Ghostface Killah & Raekwon
It's not exactly a bad album, but after the genius of Only Built For Cuban Linx.. Pt. 2, expectations were perhaps unfairly high. All the same, this could have been so much better.
'Runner-Up': The Boxer by Kele

Biggest Surprise
Winner: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye West
Artistic use of auto-tune? Snappy, College-Dropout-good lyrics? I'm sure I wasn't alone in thinking Kanye just wasn't capable of this kind of thing anymore.
Runner-Up: Treats by Sleigh Bells

Most Mysterious Disappearance
'Winner': Wolf Gang
After releasing a handful of stonking pop singles, no-one seems to have seen hide nor hair of this promising pianist, even after touring with Florence & The Machine and Metric.
'Runner-Up': Little Jinder
