Norton was poor last night. I was going to say he deserved the breaking of his ribs, but thought it was a trifle harsh.

Assuming you're talking about Anna Maxwell Martin rather than June Brown, I thought she was brilliantly horrible in Free Agents.
Yes and yes.

No they should have given it to June Brown because she deserved it.

There was an edit in the broadcast there. McIntyre went through his awful sitcom name 'joke' (even Tess Daly looked uncomfortable) and then presented the award. As they left the stage Graham Norton moved to the mic and said "Michael McIntyre: One Foot In The Grave." And thus got a HUGE laugh >_< 
I thought Norton was doing very well anyway. It gets wearisome when it's *always* Jonathan Ross. Ross is too smug by far too, you can see he thinks he's got all that type of business sown up.
As for Stott and Isaacs, I think its very hard to win an award when you are portraying a famous person. A powerful performance is hard, and an accurate imitation is hard. Combining the two is difficult to pull off and watching those BBC 're-enactment' dramas there are moments when the impersonation gets in the way of the performance.
And June Brown was robbed.
I found some great videos from the red-carpet which I thought I'd share - there's interviews with Graham Norton, Rob Brydon, Jason Isaacs, June Brown and loads more:

You can also win a "red-carpet" goodie bag! Enjoy
I do hate the "I just stumbled across..." pretence. It couldn't be more blindingly obvious that the people who post these things work for the companies. Don't patronise us, be honest.
Lol, I wasn't pretending anything - I just thought people on here'd like to know no worries!
I caught the second half of the ceremony. McIntyre was embarrassingly bad. Norton was just plain bad. The coverage was fairly poor, focusing on the losers' reactions rather than telling us about the winners.
Crap, in short.
But some very good acceptance speeches.
Why isn't McIntyre up on YouTube yet?
What did he do?
I've been told he was terrible, just really, really bad.
Worse than usual.
