BT DMA nominations
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 1 September 2011
What’s this, more noms? Well, you can never have too many noms can you? I once thought I had, but it turned out I was wrong. And then a lorry load more noms arrived, and I had a party.
Yes, the nominations have been announced for the BT DMAs, and just to prove we’re not racist we’re providing them in list form too, even though there’s flippin hundreds of them. Well, eighteen, but I’ve lost the ability to count, being high on all these noms.
Adele’s up for lots of these too. If only there was an ‘Artist I’m Most Bored With’ prize, she’d be a shoe in for that. I’m rooting for The Wanted in the Best Group category, because I was once a student of the English language and it always fascinates me when words change their meanings over time.
Anyway, here’s your digital noms…

The 2011 BT DMAs take place on 29 Sep at The Roundhouse. Why would you have a round house? You’d have to get special bookcases made, and that’s an expense I think we can all do without.
