The complete list of winners for the 2012 Billboard Music Awards features 12 wins by Adele, who led all artists.
None of Adele’s wins were televised, because she wasn’t in attendance at the show. The Billboard Music Awards are one of the few well-respected award shows in which the winners typically know in advance that they will be winning.
That means those who aren’t winning have no reason to show up, and ABC can avoid televising those awards (although, for some strange reason, the show televised Lil Wayne’s Top Male Artist win, even though Weezy wasn’t in the house.
Bizarrely, Adele was nominated in several rock categories. There’s no legitimate justification for this, and it makes the Billboard Awards look awful silly. Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” actually won the Billboard Award for Top Alternative Song, which is beyond ludicrous.
Other big winners included LMFAO, who nabbed six awards, including Top Duo/Group. Coldplay won four awards and Lady Gaga claimed two. Take a look at the full list, courtesy of Billboard.
