The other thing I got to know is that Cat Power didn't win the Shorty, but some Damien Rice guy. There's a long report on the whole ceremony on VH1.com, but I'll paste what interests me:
The Streets opened the show with British rapper Mike Skinner rhyming over DJ tracks in between sipping on a bottle of champagne. The perpetual partier seemed a bit out of place in the early time slot, but the crowd danced along. Chan Marshall, a.k.a. Cat Power, looked a little uncomfortable as well, her issue being the size of the theater. The club veteran made things more comfortable, however, when she meandered out into the crowd as she sang old soul standards.
