From what I can tell, awards were given to these people, as well as others:

Ayu - No Way to Say
W-inds - Long Road
Da Pump - Night Walk
Hitomi Shimatani - Perseus-Perseus
BoA - Double

As well as these prizes:

[Composition prize] Yoshiki Matsumoto
[Arrangement prize] Satoshi Takebe
[Lyrics prize] Satomi
[Best album prize] "LOVE" (Nakajima ”ü‰Ã)]

Cool - No way to say got an award! :thumbsup

Another bit of info from Sanspo. A small chart was made, listing the award winners:

Mika Nakashima is the winner by her "LOVE" album... -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

these all seem like recent songs...kinda early to be getting awards for these isn't it?? anyway.....GO AYU!!

yea!! go mika!! her album <love> rocks!!

go ayu too!!

tahst cool!! i was hoping shed win best lyrics as well, ayus lyrics are always so moving

but nonetheless she deserved it ^_^ :yatta

go ayu! and da pump is cool too.

I think many Japanese think this selection is cheap.
Because so many other artists refuse being awarded.
FNS is more gorgeous than this.

On New Year's Eve,Japan record Grand-prix and the maximum excellent song prize is selected from golden prize artist.
And Most-valuable-rookie-of-the-year prize is selected from Newcomer prize artsit.

dats kool!!!
ayu won a award and so did BoA and ELT!!!
=^^=
thanx for teh news!!

i'm a little confused.......did ayu win the award yet.....czo i was readin entertainment news from this newspaper sayin mika's LOVE got the best album award....her newest single got the best lyrics awards but i don't see anything mention bout ayu =\
and from what it say Mika got a greater chance for the awards of BEST SONG AWARD since she's got all the ones that listed...
BoA's Double/Mika's Yuki no Hana/Ayu's No way to say were the only ones that got the greater chance for winin it
hope ayu can win and that makes it 3 year in a row

congrats!

Congs Ayu!
