Glad to see a belated nomination for Chvrches but given their album was released in September 2013 it should really have happened last year.

Love

ignore i'm going mad

I actually think Ed Sheeran has a good chance to win all the awards he's nominated for. He's sold the most, isn't that basically what wins you a BRIT? (That and actually turning up of course.) Thinking Out Loud has really resonated so that'd get it the viewer-based votes.

Would love to see Sia win international female, she's insanely talented. Taylor will probably get it though since she's such a desperate.

I do hope paloma faith does win

How depressing.

I'm gunning for Paloma or Twigs to win Best Female. If Breakout wasn't fan-voted, I'd hope for Twigs but since it is, it'll go to one of the other acts none of which I care for.

I can't believe there's not a single woman in the Album of the Year category, especially in a year when there were some great albums from women artists. George Ezra in particular doesn't belong on that nominee list in my opinion.

Boring. Boring. Boring.

Agree about Album of the Year. I think Paloma deserved a nomination for that.

I think Ezra may surprise people in a couple of categories...

Here are my predictions.

It's actually more varied than usual. I'm pleasantly surprised 50% of the nominees aren't people who found fame from talent shows like it was last year.

As long as the majority hope Paloma wins and we all agree to storm the arena in protest if she doesnt win okay?

Isn't there a best live act category for Kate Bush to win? Pity.

The Brits are a complete joke, a shambolic mess.
Royal Blood Vs One Direction
The War on Drugs Vs 5 Seconds of Summer

Laughable.
