Sins did well for a lot of categories, but I don't want to hear an accusations of corruption etc - they have come a long way since they first hit the scene and are a well polished machine these days, and have put the work into the area that a lot of bands overlook, which is doing the hard yards in terms of promotion and building their fan base. This has paid off for them, and other bands should take note, to help them also gain the recognition they deserve.
I'll publish the full results later on.
