Even though it was taped and not live, I was still thrilled to watch it.
They NEVER show UK award shows here and it was a very pleasant surprise that VH1 carried it.
I also cried when The Kinks got their award and were inducted because I adore them and because...
...both Ray and Dave Davies almost lost their lives this past year with Ray being shot by a mugger in New Orleans, and Dave suffering a very bad stroke, so it did my heart good to see them healthy and happy.
I loved when Pete Townshend picked up The Who's Induction Award from Ray Davies who presented it and Pete said to Ray and the audience, ''I hope The Kinks have a reunion!'' Same here!

I saw the bits of him on the tribute to Jimi Hendrix but I couldn't be bothered to wait 2 and a half more hours to see Brian present Ozzy with the award. I wnated to but it was too long.

If they repeat it again, turn on the last 20 minutes. That's when Brian presents Sabbath with their induction and award.
Might I add, Brian made the longest speech of the night, which you could tell he had taken time to choose the right words..you know how Brian likes to be proper and articulate and such, and I thought he was very distinguished in his manner, and he just looked fabulous in that tailored long coat and suit.
Also, didn't someone on the show, I forget who, say that each of this year's inducted/honored artists CHOSE, who would induct them and present their award to them?
That would mean that Black Sabbath asked/requested Brian to be their presenter and induct them.
That was VERY gracious of Sabbath and I had no idea they were such fans of Brian!

Well said, I know it was a while back but as Arlene said they hardly ever get played here.

Well, Brian and Tony have worked together on several projects--Brian guesting on a late-80's Sabbath record, performing together on the "Smoke On The Water" charity single, the Freddie Mercury Tribtue Concert--and Tony has had glowing words of praise for Freddie, Brian and Queen as a whole (especially on a documentary recorded circa the tribute concert). Also, when asked by a Rolling Stone special publication to name his favorite five songs from the 1970's, Ozzy named "Bohemian Rhapsody" as one of his favorites and gave huge plaudits to Freddie, Queen and the song itself.

Surprised that no one seems to no how much of Sabbath fan Brian May is. Brian has frequently name checked the Sabs and specifically Tony as a big influence on his guitar style. I can certainly hear it!
Brian and Tony have been close buds for several decades. I know that Brian has joined the Sabs for an encore at several gigs, the earliest of which I believe is a London show from 1980. Also, Tony played at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert.

I plan on watching it ov VH1Classic tonight at 8.
I watched the awards and thought Brian looked gorgeous as well--I think he brings a touch of class to any event he graces.
I have a question--does anyone know if the UK Music Awards were broadcast at any time here last year when Queen were honored? If not, GRRRR!! Another snub against the guys here in the US. And if they were, I'm going to be VERY angry at myself for missing it.
