To be honest, the Brit Awards looked a bit rubbish this year. Faced with choosing between one dull commercial experiment after another in every category, Colin and Matt off of The Saturday Show went ahead and declared their own alternative awards, The Zings! We asked each of our presenters to curate an award and then get our listeners to vote for their favourites. Without further ado, here are the results, as chosen by you!
