A spectacular evening in Cannes has seen honours for some of the greatest names in the pop and rock industry. The winners in each category, chosen by public vote, are listed below.
Despite the presence of so many international stars, including the Peas and superstar vocalists Rihanna and Jay Z, the evening really belonged to the Parisian musical 'Mozart the Rock Opera', which won two awards, and its lead Florent Mothe, who walked away with best French male artist, Tokio Hotel, the wildy successful German rock group and most popular choice by far for Best Band - were very nearly denied the prize when an administrational error accidentally awarded the laurels instead to American hip-hop band the Black Eyed Peas.
