Predictions for the Brit Awards
Great piece from one of my ever-witty colleagues:
So did you see the big news the other day? One humble figure stood in front of an awaiting audience who were experiencing a whole concoction of emotions due to the pure expectation weighted on the words to be spoken with such passion and vigour from the now voice of a generation.
Yes, Fearne Cotton announced the Brit Awards nominations last night on a day where everything was overshadowed by the inauguration of our transatlantic neighbours’ 44th president Barack Obama. Now the Brits have suffered over the past few years (the awards, not the people), but surely a bit more foresight could have been used to not announce these nominations on the same day as one of the most important events in modern history?
