Si è svolto ieri il galà di premiazione degli UK Music Video Awards, forse il più importante premio dedicato alla videomusica, punto di riferimento del mondo produttivo anglosassone e non solo.
Il premio più importante, quello di video dell’anno, è andato a Vossi Bop di Stormzy per la regia di Henry Scholfield, anche vincitore del premio di regista dell’anno. Duncan Loudon è stato premiato come migliore nuovo regista e il suo video per Obongjayar, Never Change, ha vinto nella sezione dedicata ai video alternativi emergenti.
Grande protagonista della serata è stata FKA Twigs. Oltre ad essere eletta miglior artista, il video della sua Cellophane, diretto da Andrew Thomas Huang, ha raccolto ben quattro premi tecnici: miglior alternative Uk, miglior fotografia, miglior montaggio e migliori effetti speciali.
Fra gli altri, segnaliamo inoltre quel matto di Nick Roney che ha portato a casa due premi con due video diversi: Flasher – Material ha trionfato nella sezione Rock video newcomer e Cayucas – Girl per la sezione dedicata ai video alternativi non britannici. Infine, la Object & Animal ha vinto il premio dedicato alle case di produzione.
