After a rigorous week of voting, heated debates and animated commentary, the results of this year’s The Lava Lizard Awards have finally been tallied! Literally thousands votes were cast in the series of polls but two artists in particular dominated the major fields – Adele and Beyonce.
Both Adele and Beyonce received top honors in four categories with the former winning such titles as Album of the Year for her top-selling ’21′ LP, Single of the Year for ‘Rolling in the Deep’ and Best Female Artist. Beyonce, on the other hand, ironically won both Video of the Year and Worst Video of Year for ‘Run the World (Girls)’ and ’1+1′, respectively.
However, all of the winners weren’t as obvious as the previously mentioned acts. In fact, there were several surprises on the list of honorees, including Bruno Mars who nabbed the Best Male Artist crown.
