Ray was presented his award by Noel Gallagher and Ray was sitting with Alice Cooper at this event...
"You win some, you lose some. Robert Dizzee Rascal was named best solo artist at the 2010 GQ Man of the Year awards, held Tuesday (September 7) at the Royal Opera House in London.
Earlier in the evening Dizzee Rascal, the ‘Bonkers’ hit maker, could have been disappointed to have not won 2010 Mercury Music prize earlier in the evening. He was trying to become the first artist to win the award two times. This year he was beaten out by rock music group XX.
Dizzee Rascal's disappointment didn't last too long however, as he won an award just down the street within hours of the new Mercury Music awards.
Dizzy collected his GQ ‘Man of the Year,’ award, which made his Mercury award disappointment easier to swallow.
Others joining Dizzee Rascal is a GQ awards winner included the Gorillaz, who were awarded ‘Band of the Year,’ Ray Davies of the Kinks who won an ‘Outstanding Achievement Award’ recognizing him for his lifetime of contributions to rock music, and Giorgio Armani as ‘Best designer.’
Also winning awards were Ed Westwick (Gossip Girl) for ‘Break-through Talent’ and Jon Hamm (Mad Men) who won ‘International Man of the Year.’"
