It's the Supersound

Last night, the Shockwaves NME Awards 2010 took place at the O2 Academy Brixton. Many an unsurprising honor were bestowed upon some the top artists and acts in today's pop and rock music, along with social media, television and fashion.

  

  

Big winners were Muse and Kasabian, while Lady Gaga managed to snag both best and worst dressed. Paradoxes! Lily Allen and The Big Pink teamed up for a performance of Dominos, segueing into Carly Simon's You're So Vain, and back into the band's smash hit. Audio of their duet is below. (not the highest-qual, but you can hear everything well enough)

Sort of. Here’s the deal. There’s a category in The Grammy’s for Best Song Written For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media Field. Be that as it may, Miley Cyrus‘ tween-adored track, The Climb, was a contender for the award, until this morning.

It was initially reporthted that a previously nominated track was “disqualified.” That track [The Climb] which appears on the soundtrack to Hannah Montana: The Movie, was removed from consideration, leaving the nom open for the song with the next-highest vote count: Karen O‘s All is Love, from Where the Wild Things Are.

According to Cyrus’ camp, they had previously remnoived it from contention, yet an error still had the song available for ballot votes. The nomination gives Karen two nods, the other being received for Best Alternative Album and It’s Blitz!

The category nominees now look as such.

All Is Love (From Where The Wild Things Are)
Karen O. & Nick Zinner, songwriters (Karen O. & The Kids)

Decode (From Twilight)
Josh Farro, Hayley Williams & Taylor York, songwriters (Paramore)

Jai Ho (From Slumdog Millionaire)
Gulzar, A.R. Rahman & Tanvi Shah, songwriters (A.R. Rahman, Sukhvinder Singh, Tanvi Shah, Mahalaxmi Iyer & Vijay Prakash)

Once In A Lifetime (From Cadillac Records)
Ian Dench, James Dring, Amanda Ghost, Beyoncé Knowles, Scott McFarnon & Jody Street, songwriters (Beyoncé)

The Wrestler (From The Wrestler)
Bruce Springsteen, songwriter (Bruce Springsteen)

Ellie Goulding, the 22-year old singer/songwriter, who has been quick to steal the hearts of boys and girls blogwide, was named as the Brit 2010 Critics’ Choice Award Winner last night. The prize goes to the act most likely to break through in the coming year.

Previous winners of the award include Adele and Florence + The Machine, and while Goulding has yet to crack a top 40 hit, her first single, Under The Sheets, has quickly become a mainstay and favorite across indepndent and worldwide media sources. We’ve touted her as “the one to watch in 2010″, and the award is further confirmation that we’re in for a massive takeover by the winsome gal.

Runners-up shortlisted for this year’s award were Delphic and Marina and The Diamonds.

The Critics’ Choice award for emerging acts is announced two months before the main Brit Award nominations are revealed on January 18. Goulding will perform at the event and pick up her award at the main ceremony, honoring all winners, on February 16.
