OK Go picked up the Best Video of the Year at last night’s UK MVA Awards, for the band’s Rube Goldberg-Heath Robinson-Fischli & Wiess-esque video for This Too Shall Pass, directed by James Frost and Synn Labs…

The other big winner on the night was Plan B, who won four awards for two videos that form part of a series directed by Daniel Wolfe. The winning videos were Prayin’ (shown above), which picked up the Best Pop Video and Best Art Direction gongs, and Stay Too Long, which was awarded Best Cinematography and Best Styling. Wolfe picked up the Best Director award, while the producer of the videos, Tim Francis, was awarded as Best Producer.

The Icon Award was presented by Radiohead’s Ed O’Brien to directing team Hammer & Tongs (Garth Jennings and Nick Goldsmith), for their contribution to music videos over the years. Among their greatest hits are promos for Blur, Supergrass, Fat Boy Slim, REM and Beck. Jennings and Goldsmith have since gone on to direct features, including Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, but still continue to make music videos on the side – Jennings’ recent promo for Vampire Weekend’s Cousins is shown above.

Here are the the winners in full, complete with the videos, unless the pesky record companies won’t allow embedding…
