Today in London at the Ivor Novello Awards, Amy Winehouse won a prestigious top song award for Love Is a Losing Game. Sadly the singer was a no show when they called her name and her father Mitch Winehouse went to the podium to accept her award and said this:

Amy unfortunately couldn’t make it. She’s getting better, and she sends you all her love.”

As the troubled singer’s father was in the midst of accepting the award, the wayward Amy arrived. Mitch went on in his speech to thank family members and friends “who continually send us their love and best wishes all the time and every day.”

Who knows what kind of trouble she gives her manager, Ray Grange, but one can only imagine it must be a nightmare to keep track of her escapades. Evidently her family thinks he’s a saint because her father also went on to say that Ray should be awarded the equivalent of a Victoria Cross, a medal given to soldiers for their bravery on the battlefield.

One would think the singer would be embarrassed and probably hightail it out of the ceremony but oblivious to it all, she spoke with BBC and said she was “very well” and “very excited and very flattered” to have won.
