There are some music awards that matter and others that some artists couldn't give a sh*t about.
Luckily for Noel Gallagher, his latest gong is in the latter category.
Staying true to his 'I'll say whatever I f***ing think' mantra, as soon as the star was on stage accepting the Q Award for Best Album for 'Chasing Yesterday' he was off...
Noel stated: "First of all, I've been coming here for years. They need to f***ing sort this sh*t out, these (the awards) are bobbins, rubbish I've got hundreds of these you can't put them anywhere. This would have been interesting if this was the 90s in that category, I would've been going 'You're f***ing sh*t!'
The former Oasis star, who posed up with Coldplay's Chris Martin at London's Grovesnor Hotel event, also revealed he’s already won too many awards to keep track of.
Asked how many gongs he’d won during the course of his career, Noel told BANG Showbiz: “I've got too many! I give them away, I've lost a few. I don't keep awards at home, I think it's bad for my children.
“My mam has got some stuff at her house, she's got stuff I don't even remember winning."
Meanwhile, Florence + The Machine beat Muse, Foals, The Weeknd and Miguel to win Best Video and The Libertines’ ‘Gunga Din’ was voted Best Track by readers of Q magazine.

An ice cream maker has turned Scotland’s Favourite Pint into a frozen treat – and hopes to tempt Noel Gallagher try it.
The award-winning Fochabers Ice Cream Parlour, in Moray, is famous for its wacky flavours and ice cream creations and their latest sees Tennent’s lager turned into a sorbet.
According to the shop's owner Sheila Gray - who has previously been dubbed the Willy Wonka of ice cream - the frozen delight is the perfect pairing to her curry flavoured ice cream.
She said: “I was thinking Friday night is curry night and I was thinking curry and a pint – a Tennent’s chaser.
“It works better as a sorbet than as ice cream, it’s much more refreshing.”
She hopes the new creations appearance in her shop might even persuade some famous fans of the drink to visit.
“When Noel Gallagher was up at the Craigellachie Hotel he was drinking Tennent’s and he thought it was the best beer he’d had.
“I’m going to send him a Tweet telling him to come and try the best Tennent's sorbet.
“So we’ll see if he gets back.”
Some of Sheila’s previous flavours have included turkey and cranberry, haggis and black pudding.
“We went with Tennent’s because it’s Scottish,” she added.
“It very much tastes like Tennent’s. I’m not a beer drinker, but one of the girls that works here really likes it.
“You’d certainly know it was a really iced can of Tennent’s.
“It’s almost like a Tennent’s slushie.
“People like it. They like coming in and trying the two together.
“Customers are intrigued. I’m sure this one will make a regular appearance.”
Despite making headlines with the unusual flavourings, Sheila has won several awards for her more traditional flavours including her chocolate and honeycomb ice creams.

An Exhibition Of Classic British Record Covers From The 1990s Is To Open At Oasis Star Liam Gallagher's Clothes Store.
The collection of work by photographer Brian Cannon, encompassing the era dubbed 'Britpop', will go on display at a branch of Pretty Green in Manchester, England from Friday (16Oct15).
It will feature the iconic covers that adorned the first two Oasis albums, as well as other well-known rock artwork from the era, including Suede single So Young and the band's album Dog Man Star, Super Furry Animals' first album Fuzzy Logic, and 1977, the debut disc from Ash.
Other Oasis covers in the exhibition include those for their singles All Around the World, Stand By Me, Cigarettes & Alcohol, and Some Might Say, which featured Cannon's parents in the image.
Speaking at the launch, Cannon recalled working with Oasis as they were on the cusp of superstardom, telling the Manchester Evening News, "Nobody knew who they were back then but I think they genuinely did believe that they were something else, that they would be stratospherically big.
"Quality doesn't always guarantee success but they were just brilliant. They really were something else. I just felt it and I thought it would be a travesty if they didn't make it big...
"Don't believe everything you read about them. They were very enthusiastic and totally into it - not just the music but the artwork itself as well. I would have creative meetings with (guitarist) Noel (Gallagher), I'd give him some pointers and he'd come back with some ideas. I got him and he got me. Nothing ever got rejected or re-shot."
The exhibition, which will also feature other rarities including unseen photographs and several handwritten notes from The Verve rocker Richard Ashcroft, runs until the end of October (15).
Liam Gallagher has reportedly ''taken up horse riding'' after falling in love with the sport while on holiday in Italy with girlfriend Debbie Gwyther.
The former Oasis rocker has reportedly whisked his girlfriend away to northern Italy for a much-needed holiday and has fallen in love with equestrianism.
A source shared: ''Liam has taken up horse riding and loves it. He finds it relaxing and it's a welcome distraction from everything that has been going on.''
The 43-year-old star is also said to be planning to buy Debbie a horse of her own.
The source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: ''Liam fell in love with Italy. Everyone was so welcoming there and he had a great time with Debbie and their friends.
''They stayed in an incredible villa and Liam was thinking of buying a second home so he could divide his time between London and Italy.
''It would be a great place to take his kids on holidays and get away from it all. It all just depends on how it goes with the divorce settlement.''
