After attending the Sports Journalists' Association awards last night, Monkey has rustled up a few additional categories that deserve honourable mention. First up is former England cricket captain Nasser Hussain who takes the prize for best humorous self-deprecating comment of the night as he picked up the award for Sky Sports' coverage of England's victory over Australia in last summer's Ashes series. "They sent me because this is the first time I've won anything to do with the Ashes," he quipped. Best theme music playing while winner heads to stage award goes to ... Jeff Stelling. Stelling, who last night pulled off the Roger Federer-esque achievement of winning best sports TV broadcaster five times in a row, was welcomed to the stage with MC Hammer's U Can't Touch This. And the mistaken identity award goes to ... one Richard Wilson, a freelancer up for a shot at the regional writer award, who found that his picture on the big screen had been accidentally replaced by the Guardian's Richard Williams. And lastly the Rupert Murdoch award for paywall-friendly content goes to ... Lawrence Booth of the Daily Mail (formerly of Guardian Towers). Booth won in the regular blog or column category, eliciting the comment of one judge that it "almost justified the idea of a paywall". Praise indeed.
