Znaczenie w mediach
Od czasu powstania w 1990, Q Awards stały się jednymi z najważniejszych brytyjskich nagród muzycznych, na co z pewnością wpływ miało często nietypowe zachowanie gwiazd podczas gali. Prawdopodobnie najbardziej osławionym zdarzeniem ostatnich lat była ceremonia rozdania Q Awards w roku 2004, podczas której Elton John oskarżył nominowaną do narody za Best Live Act Madonnę o oszukiwanie fanów w czasie koncertów.
