I went to the awards last night at Terminal 5. It was kind of a weird show, a little slow and disorganized. No one was really paying attention to Patton Oswalt and the Michael Showalter video sketches shown in between performances. The only winner that showed up was Annie Clark (St. Vincent) and that's only cuz she was performing. She's gorgeous and Dizzee Rascal was pretty rad too!
