Looking at the nominees in the Entertainment category, I think A&J will struggle to beat Frank Skinner to the gold award. But I think our lads will triumph in the Comedy award.

They mentioned Adam and Joe's Sony Award nomination on The One Show briefly (13th April from 28 minutes in to 29 minutes) with guest Louis Theroux. They also played the clip when Louis and Adam and Joe are dancing as teenagers (think Adam uploaded it to his Youtube channel). Just thought I'd mention it since it's kind of cool to see them on BBC 1 prime time even if it is just an old clip!

Adam and Joe won Silver tonight, and the gold went to the sweet little old ladies from up north.

Their nomination for Best Comedy wasn't placed but the Judges said this:

What the Judges Said
"Brilliant comedy skills displayed in a live show with excellent use of music and painstaking preparation that pays off in spades."

Bronze in this category went to a lovely pal of Joe's.

We have to mention the station we all worked so hard to save.
6Music won Station of the Year.

BBC Radio 6 Music
WINNER: GOLD
What the Judges Said
"6 Music displays a confidence across its schedule that not only reflects a real passion for music but also a firm understanding of the audience they are broadcasting to. The clear bond shared by presenters shows a station that is enjoying what it does. This is the year that 6 Music has come of age and the judges felt this was reflected in the quality of the output. An outstanding entry."

Silver's not bad. Pity they won't be in next year's awards, unless they find the time to come back to 6 Music for another run of shows before the end of the year.

They really need a Bronze to complete the set
