Talk about an awesome set of nominees for every category! Check out the Best Dressed and Worst Dressed lists, some people are in both lists, I guess its all about perspective. How about Hero or Villain of the Year? Those are awesome categories. Noel Gallagher is in both. I don’t think he’ll win, especially since Kanye’s in the Villain nominee list. Plus Liam is definitely more of the villain than Noel, since everyone blames him for the Oasis split. I really can’t say who I’d like to win, especially since I’d have to choose between Oasis, Muse and Arctic Monkeys for certain awards. Haha. I can’t wait to see/watch who’ll win!
