By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 27 January 2009
The nominations for the 2009 NME Awards have been announced, and Oasis have been nominated in seven categories.
The awards the group are up for include Best Band, Worst Band, and Best Album, whilst Noel Gallagher is nominated in the Hero Of The Year and Best Dressed categories.
Noel Gallagher said: “Seven nominations, you say? Is that all? I always knew my time would come in the best dressed man in the world category”.
Elsewhere, Kings Of Leon also have multiple nominations, with four nods, including best track for the ubiquitous ‘Sex On Fire’. The also-ubiquitous Barack Obama gets a first nomination in the aforementioned Hero Of The Year category, whilst Amy Winehouse joins the likes of Gordon Brown and George W Bush in the Villain Of The Year domain.
Elsewhere in the negatives, Coldplay’s latest album ‘Viva La Vida’ us up for Worst Album, as is Razorlight’s ‘Slipway Fires’. Worst Dressed nominees include Amy Winehouse and Brandon Flowers.
Meanwhile, back in the positives, The Cure will get this year’s Godlike Genius Award.
Winners will be announced on 25 Feb at Brixton Academy.
