From the AP: The Darkness Win Brit Awards

The Darkness, British glam-rockers, won the Best British Group award, defeating Busted, the Coral, Radiohead and the Sugababes. The Darkness also won the Best British Rock Act.

"This is a real privilege, a tremendous honor and a great achievement ... and I have to say, we probably are the best British group," Darkness frontman Justin Hawkins told the audience.

"We should thank our collective parents for bestowing on us the gift of rock," he said.
