Brit Awards Announced
Nominations are out with Mika, Take That and Leona Lewis leading the list
The Brit Awards nominations are out with stars like Leona, Mika, Kaiser Chiefs and Take That heading the lists, while Amy Winehouse and Dizzee Rascal have been ignored.
Wino has not got a single solo nomination for a Brit despite being up for the Mercury Prize and six Grammies for her work in the last year.
Dizzee Rascal-whose excellent Maths And English garnered critical praise and a Mercury nomination last year- missed out on a Best Male nod to Mika, Yank Mark Ronson and Newton Faulkner.
