The UK Music Video Awards (MVAs) took place last night in London with winners ranging from France's Megaforce and Fleur & Manu directing teams, Spain's creative group Canada (confusing, yes?), US director Kahlil Joseph and lots of UK representatives.
Rock legend Ray Davies bestowed music video and film legend Julien Temple with the Icon Award, recognizing his nearly 40 year career from documentaries for The Sex Pistols and Joe Strummer to videos for The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Janet Jackson, Neil Young and many other luminaries.
