22 favourite jokes, memes and comments about this year’s Brit Awards

The non-gendered approach saw the Artist of the Year category raising concerns due to the shortlist containing no women, supposedly due to a low percentage of female-made new music.
The nominees for BRITs 2023 Artist of the Year in partnership with @YouTube Shorts are:

Although, host Mo Gilligan invented the mash-up musician Sam Capaldi while introducing him to the stage.

Wet Leg, who won in two categories, took the opportunity of their second acceptance speech to send a NSFW message to the government.
I really like Wet Leg!

There’s no shame in not knowing who the acts are on the #BRITs. Mo Gilligan doesn’t either.
