The best album award will be a battle between Arctic Monkeys for Whatever You Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, Kasabian for Empire, The Killers for Sam's Town, Muse for Blackholes and Revelations and My Chemical Romance for The Black Parade.
The Horrors, the Fratellis, Klaxons, The Kooks and The View are up for best new band.
CSS, The Killers, My Chemical Romance, The Strokes and We Are Scientists are in the running for best international band.
Lily Allen, who recently missed out on winning a Brit award, is up for best solo artist alongside Jarvis Cocker, Jamie T, Thom Yorke and Get Cape Wear Cape Fly.
Allen is also up for sexiest female, but also features in the worst dressed and worst album categories. |
