The editor of NME says it shouldn't be possible for music award ceremonies to ignore female talent.
Nine of this year's NME awards were won by women or female-front acts, after Charli XCX and Lorde led the nominations.
"We're just trying to talk about what's relevant," Mike Williams tells Newsbeat.
It follows criticism of The Grammys, where 17 of the 86 awards went to women.
'It shouldn't be a plaster'
The Big Moon's track Sucker won best video, a category which was made up entirely of females or female-fronted acts.
The band say it's something they "hadn't thought about in that way".
