2008欧洲MTV大奖获奖名单揭晓 布兰妮缺席
Though Britney Spears wasn't on-hand to accept, she won two awards at the 2008 Europe Music Awards - for Album of the Year and Act of 2008. The other big winners of the night were VIP Bar hosts 30 Seconds To Mars, who also scooped up two awards for Rock Out and Video Star.
尽管布兰妮没有亲临颁奖现场，但她照收了2008欧洲MVT大奖“年度最佳专辑”和“年度最佳表现”两个奖项。2008欧洲MTV大奖之夜的另一大赢家则是同样获得“最佳摇滚艺人”和“最佳MV之星”两个奖项的“30秒到火星”乐队。
But the ultimate power of the audience vote was underlined when Rick Astley scooped Best Act Ever. Rick was not available to attend the Awards. In his absence, presenters Katy Perry and Perez Hilton charmed the audience with a quick dance routine to his famous track. In a statement, Astley said: "I am honoured that my fans worked so hard to help me win Best Act Ever at the 2008 MTV Europe Music Awards. This is the first time I have been nominated for the EMAs and I would like to thank everyone who voted for me."
当“乐坛最佳表现奖”授予Rick Astley时，该奖项再度凸显了大众票选的强大号召力。由于Rick Astley缺席本次颁奖礼，当晚主持Katy Perry和Perez Hilton在Rick Astley著名的歌曲中为现场观众带来了一段即兴舞蹈。Rick Astley通过VCR表示：“歌迷如此卖力的为我在2008欧洲MTV大奖上投票使我获得了‘乐坛最佳表现奖’，我感到十分的荣幸。这是我第一次被提名欧洲MTV大奖，我想对每一位投票支持我的人们表示感谢！”
Sir Paul McCartney was also honoured with a special award - the Ultimate Legend Award - which was presented to him by U2 lead singer Bono.
前披头士乐队成员保罗·麦卡特尼被授予一个特别的奖项——“乐坛传奇奖”，为他颁奖的嘉宾是U2乐队的主唱Bono。
