UK Music Video Award Winners

Strawberry Swing for Coldplay, directed by Shynola

 

The winners of this year’s UK MVAs were announced last night at a gala ceremony in London last night, with Shynola‘s animated vid for Coldplay’s Strawberry Swing picking up the coveted Video of the Year award…

 

Shynola picked up the top gong, as well as the awards for Best Animation and Best Rock Video, despite courting controversy with the promo. Since its release, the directing team has faced accusations of completing the video in post rather than by hand as claimed, as well as of plagiarism (a claim rounded refuted by Shynola via the medium of pdf). Still, in a year where surprising or ambitious videos were a little thin on the ground, it is surely a worthy winner.

 

The other big awards went to Martin de Thurah, who won the Best Director Award; David Wilson, who picked up the Best New Director Award; Tim Nash, who won Best Commissioner; Malachy McAnenny, who won Best Producer; and Carole Burton-Fairbrother, who won the Outstanding Achievement Award. The Icon Award went to director Dawn Shadforth.
