1. When Skepta "Shutdown" the Best Song category (even if he didn't show).

"Skepta couldn't be here tonight because he is Jesus Christ our Lord and saviour"

2. When Rita Ora shared the stage with Section Boyz for a performance of their banger "Trapping Ain't Dead."

Proving she really is their biggest fan.
