Brit Awards 2010 Nominations Announced

[ManicKangaroo]

How much did Simon Cowell have to pay to secure Joe McElderry's nomination?

[Maximo Mark]

X-Factor winner is always there as the Single award nominations are decided on Airplay and Sales.

[ManicKangaroo]

I'm sure given the choice he'd rather have had Susan Boyle nommed

I thought it used to be the top 10 British songs of last year but if that were true then Alesha wouldn't feature

Shame for SuBo to not even be nominated.

A nice surprise for Alesha, not that she'll win.

Cheryl HAS to win Best Single!
;D

I hope Leona and Lily at least get one each this year following academy snubs in previous years.

GaGa for a full set please.

What the actual hell?! How in the name of all that's holy have they managed to miss off 21st Century Breakdown? It drives me mad, the Green Day backlash. Just because they haven't shifted a million records (I thought The E.N.D. was supposed to be horribly top-heavy?) doesn't mean they've become a bad band overnight. Everyone bummed off them during American Idiot and suddenly it's died. Also not pleased about no Muse nomination for best album, although I'd be happy to see Florence or Kasabian win it.

Shame Paloma Faith didn't get any noms I hope Leona can finally get one as well!

[Brett-Butler]

I'm surprised to see Animal Collective nominated - twice! I thought that would've been a bit too leftfield for the Brit panel.

[borneoman]

Think Gaga and Florence are gonna be the big winners of the night.

The Best UK Album of the last 30 Years is a very interesting one, love most of them. My choice would be Dido + surprised Sade is in there!!!

and I loled at Bros being up for Best Live Performance at the Brits in the last 30 years. Cannot recall it, was it something special???

Yes you can, as long as you release new material

[Mart!n]

Hopefully Florence will walk of with a couple of Brits, notably in the albums most likely, my money is Lily Allen in the female group.

And lol JLS nominated for best British Band among all the Indie bands in the category

Lady GaGa will walk away with 3 Brit Awards under her belt.

No Live Act Award this year, have they dropped it in favour for the 2 special ones.

[TheThorne]

I love Friendly Fires but I dont think they are quite at the best group stage yet where are Biffy Clyro? again ignored even though they are one of the few rock acts to have 3 top 40 hits in the last year, a top 10 album and sell out tours
