Coldplay were the big winners at this year’s Q Awards taking home two prizes.
They won the Best Album accolade for Viva La Vida, Or Death And All His Friends and beat off stiff competition from Oasis, Muse, veteran heavy metal band Metallica and Kings of Leon to be named the Best Act in the World Today. Upon collecting the prize, Chris Martin said ‘I don’t think we’re the best act in the room, let alone the world.’ However, they missed out in the Best Track and Best Video categories, seeing Violet Hill lose out to Keane’s Spiralling and Vampire Weekend’s A-Punk respectively.
