Hot night for Rascal & Gaga ...

Lady Gaga stole the show at last night's glittering Brit Awards, while Florence and the Machine and Kasabian were also among the winners.

The ceremony, hosted by comedian Peter Kay at London's Earl's Court, saw performances by Jay-Z, Robbie Willaims, Cheryl Cole and a collaboration between Florence and the Machine and Dizzee Rascal.

However, U.S. pop singer Lady Gaga was the big winner, taking home best international female solo artist, best international breakthrough act and best international album for The Fame.

Florence and the Machine won best British album for Lungs and Kasabian scooped best British group.

After giving the night's opening performance with The Fear, Lily Allen also picked up best female solo artist.

Dizzee Rascal was named best British male solo artist, while rapper Jay Z took home the international equivalent.

The night's only real controversy came from Liam Gallagher, who declined to thank his brother Noel while accepting best album of 30 years for (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, before tossing the microphone and award into the crowd.
