One Direction win best UK act ahead of EMAs
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 16 October 2012
Perhaps unsurprisingly, given this is punter voted, One Direction have been declared the Best UK/Ireland Act ahead of this year’s MTV European Music Awards.
They will now be pitched against similar winners in other nations across the continent for the title of Best European Act, which, if they won it (and they probably will), would put them on a shortlist for Best Worldwide Act, against artists representing North American, Latin American, Asia Pacifica, and Africa/India/Middle East. And all of that’s got to happen before the EMAs actually take place in Frankfurt on 11 Nov.
Responding to the news, albeit from behind a tree (the squirrels were out in force, see, and none of those 1D boys want to go the way of bandmate Niall), the group’s Louis Tomlinson told reporters: “We’re so happy and incredibly honoured to have won this. Once again our amazing fans have done us proud – thanks so much as always to you all!”
