Brit Awards: Harry Styles hails female artists as he sweeps the prizesBy Alex Green, PA Acting Deputy Entertainment EditorHarry Styles dominated the Brit Awards, winning all four of the awards he was nominated for. Former One Direction star Styles (29) used his speeches to acknowledge his “privilege” and namecheck the female artists who were absent from the best artist category this year. This was despite an increase in female artists or all-women groups across the board.
