With four nominations each, Coldplay and Duffy lead the field for the BRIT
Awards 2009, announced today (Jan. 20) at London's Roundhouse. Adele, Elbow
and Scouting For Girls scored three nominations apiece.
The latter British trio was one of three acts to perform live at the
announcement, along with Gabriella Cilmi and newcomer Florence and the Machine.
She will win the second Critics' Choice award, chosen by a media panel, which
was given last year to Adele.
Coldplay's four nods follow the group's seven nominations for the 2009 Grammys,
in recognition of the multi-million-selling "Viva La Vida or Death and All His
Friends," while Duffy's are for her debut album "Rockferry," the U.K.'s
best-seller of 2008.
Both sets are nominated for best British album, competing against Elbow's
"The Seldom Seen Kid," Radiohead's "In Rainbows" and the Ting Tings'
"We Started Nothing." Coldplay is also up for best British group (alongside
Elbow, Girls Aloud, Radiohead and Take That), British single for "Viva La Vida"
and British live act (up against Elbow, Iron Maiden, Scouting For Girls and
the Verve).
Duffy is nominated as British female solo act, competing with Adele,
Beth Rowley, Estelle and M.I.A.; British breakthrough act, with Adele,
Last Shadow Puppets, Scouting For Girls and the Ting Tings; and British
single for "Mercy," in a longlist of 10 that will be cut down to five by U.K.
commercial radio listeners, with the winner selected by live vote on awards
night.
Radiohead, Girls Aloud, Estelle and the Ting Tings landed two nominations
apiece. The same five acts will compete for both international group and
international album: AC/DC, Fleet Foxes, the Killers, Kings Of Leon and MGMT.
International male will be contested by Beck, Neil Diamond, Jay-Z, Kanye West
and Seasick Steve, with the female category between Beyonce, Cilmi, Katy Perry,
Pink and Santogold. The producer award, last given in 1998, returns to the
fold, although the trophy -- contested by Bernard Butler, Brian Eno and
Steve Mac -- will be presented at the Music Producers Guild (MPG) Awards
at London's Cafe de Paris Feb. 12.
The BRIT Awards, sponsored again by MasterCard, will take place at Earls Court
in London on Feb. 18, broadcast live on ITV1. The show will be co-presented by
Kylie Minogue with U.K. TV comedy stars James Corden and Mathew Horne. The trio
previously appeared together in the Australian pop star's ITV1 special
"The Kylie Show."
The awards show will feature live performances by U2, the Pet Shop Boys
(to be given the outstanding contribution to music award), Kings Of Leon,
Duffy and Girls Aloud.

美中不足的是，抬望眼，總看見園中西隅，
剩下的那兩棵義大利柏樹中間，露出一塊楞楞的空白來，
缺口當中，映著湛湛青空，悠悠白雲，
那是一道女媧煉石也無法彌補的天裂。
