Brit Awards 2009 Nominations In Full Posted: 20 Jan 2009 02:22 PM PST It’s that time of year again when The Brit Awards reign supreme. Unlike the critics-lead Mercury Music Prize, the Brits tend to follow popularity and sales, both in nominations and the eventual winners. Here is the full list of nominations for the Brit Awards 2009, along with my choice and my prediction for winner. They very rarely match up. There are few surprises in the list, with Coldplay and Duffy leading the fight with four nominations each. How Scouting For Girls managed three nominations remains a mystery. British Male Solo Artist Ian Brown James Morrison Paul Weller The Streets Will Young My Choice: Will Young My Prediction: The Streets British Female Solo Artist Adele Beth Rowley Duffy Estelle M.I.A. My Choice: Duffy My Prediction: Adele British Group Coldplay Elbow Girls Aloud Radiohead Take That My Choice: Coldplay My Prediction: Take That British Single Adele - ‘Chasing Pavements’ Alexandra Burke - ‘Hallelujah’ Coldplay - ‘Viva La Vida’ Dizzee Rascal ft.

It will be presented by Kylie Minogue, James Corden, and Mathew Home, so expect a little more professionalism than was demonstrated last year by the Osbournes. I live-blogged last year’s event (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4) and am planning on doing the same this year (fingers crossed my Internet connection and PC are up to the task). Join me in a month’s time to see if I get any of my predictions correct.
