Sorry if I'm missing something!
I know there are international categories, but surely the lifetime award is for Brits only?
This is very true?? although what would Bob Geldoff be classed as.

Or maybe the Brits are making things up as they go?
On the plus side, if the Lifetime gong is being phased out, at least we won't see N-Dubz get it in some far horrific future...

Anything but a number one chart position. I have faith but not in delusional amounts!

There is the idea of an all-Manics radio station. #1 would not be impossible.

They have the Godlike Genius award. They don't need the Brits Outstanding Contribution one.

That's good as they won't be getting it. Not this year anyway.

I think this is the best song off the album. And the home video of it is easily the best thing associated with this whole mini-era of the Manics.

I'd agree with this, I think its a lovely video which fits the song perfectly.

Agree with this; I wish they'd released this first. It might not have made much difference to sales/chart positions etc, but I think it's a stronger song for a single than either of the other two they've released and the home video fits well with the song, unlike the other two videos which I didn't think were very good at all.

They better get a good video, otherwise it won't get anywhere in the charts.

Saint Bob gets "international" awards as and when required, just like the "honourary knighthood" he received.

oddly the Brits still classify U2 as an international act - surely with The Edge being as cockney as Eastenders they could have sneaked them in as "British", but i dare say that would have upset St. Bono?

as for Eminem, he is very, very good at selling lots and lots of records, so i have no doubt the Brits will find a way to celebrate him. i don't think the Manics have sold enough records to attract a pat on the head from the Brits, but who knows? Postcards seems to have picked up as a "sleeper" seller, they might get some recognition for it.

James certainly did like rap, dunno what his thoughts on modern stuff is though!
