If I use which as a demonstrative adjective, can the noun be plural?

Example:

Which players won the best player awards last night? (When there are more than one who won the award)

If the above example is not correct, what would be a better sentence?

  • I'd say *"Which players won the best player award last night?"* Because ultimately, the award is one though given off to many. To me, "The Best Player" is the title of one single award given to many here. – Maulik V Sep 18 '14 at 05:43

Yes, which is fine with both singular and plural head nouns.

Your understanding seems correct to me: the choice of singular or plural indicates what sort of answer you're expecting.

Your sentence is fine.
