The 2012 BRITs are approaching and it's now less than a month until we found out next year's nominations. Who do you all think the winners will be?

I'll write my predictions for each category and will "bolden" the nominees that I think will win.

Best British Solo Male
Olly Murs
Ed Sheeran
Professor Green
Noel Gallagher
Matt Cardle (he did write a lot of his album...)

Best British Solo Female
Adele
Jessie J
Rebecca Ferguson
Florence Welch (is she considered a solo artist?)
Katy B

Best British Group
Coldplay
Rizzle Kicks

Best British Single
Ed Sheeran - The A Team
Adele - Someone Like You
Jessie J - Price Tag
Adele - Rolling In the Deep
Olly Murs - Heart Skips A Beat

There will no doubt be a tribute to Amy Winehouse next year as well. Maybe a Lifetime Achievement Award.

Blur are getting the lifetime award. And really Rhianna will more likely win the overseas award.

When do they stop considering songs, is there a cut off point where the song cant be considered for the 2012 awards?

My predictions from a thread i made a while back

Isn't there a rule that you can't be nominated for the same award two years in a row? Which would eliminate JLS from Best Group, Gaga/Rihanna from Best International Female and Buble from Best International Male.

And just to confirm, these nominations/awards are based on the charts between February 2011 - February 2012?

I believe November is the cut off time to hive them time to sort out nominations and who appears on the night etc.

I think Adele has best british female and best album sown up.

Coldplay for best band.

Noel Gallagher will get best male. I'd be really fed up if Matt Cardle gets a best male nomination over Will Young, who has sold more and produced a brilliant critically acclaimed 5th studio album, but never won best male, despite several nominations. If Murs wins best male I will despair! James Morrison may get a nom for this too, but I don't think he will win it.

Breakthrough will probably be Ed Sheeran. Cher Lloyd?? Surely not

Best international male, Bruno Mars.

Not sure about the rest.

Ed Sheeran's album was so disappointing after the standard of his EPs. I really hope someone else gets it - Will Young (although I actually prefer Ed) would be thoroughly deserving. I have a soft spot for Olly too, so wouldn't mind him getting it.

Florence should get Best British album but I imagine it'll go to Adele.

Matt Cardle wont be nominated
