This list is being updated live as I watch, so check back for updates as winners are announced. Below, you’ll find the entire list of nominations, and winners will be marked in bright red.
P.S. I make no promises about not giving up and going to bed. It’s kicking off at 1AM here in the UK and these shows typically last 3-4 hours, and I’m already sleep-deprived this week. If I fall asleep and land face-first on my keyboard, I can only hope that the ensuing gibberish doesn’t screw this post up too much. Well, more than my normal brand of gibberish.
