Like any good awards ceremony there were laughs, tears and hiccups including a dispute over the Best Male Designer (Kanye it is anyone), Kojo leaving before he won his inspiration award and Tiny Iron giving the crowd the giggles over his pronunciation of nominees names but it was a definite success that will no doubt be built upon in 2010.
