There was only the soundtrack to the film: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_(soundtrack).
I think it's a ridiculous nomination and quite insulting to other females who have released stuff over the past year. |

I feel like Laura Marling must be very well connected or something
 ! This is her fourth nomination for British Female since 2011 (having won that year). Interestingly, Florence (with 'Ceremonials') and Coldplay (with 'Mylo Xyloto') lost out to Adele in Album of the Year back in 2012, and it's almost certain that history will repeat itself. Florence should really get off her release schedule if she knows what's good for her! |

if there was a shortage of female singers, I would understand but that's not the case, Ellie Goulding should have taken the place
the female international is the most interesting one, hope Lana or Bjork get it |

I can't predict who will win until i know the voting process for each category. Obviously social media friendly/younger acts like 1d and Little Mix benefit from fan voting categories...
I'm assuming album of the year is decided by a panel. That's surely the most obvious category with Adele walking it. Jamie XX got critical acclaim but I just can't see him beating Adele. I think album of the year and best female for Adele are in the bag for her and her name currently being engraved on the trophy. |

Always makes me chuckle when I see BRIT nominations and only 10 categories when you look at the GRAMMYs and it's like hundreds.

These nominations are quite embarrassing and very laughable.

The nominations are such shambles.... I think Amy Winehouse being up for best female is utterly ridiculous, I mean yes there is a bit of a shortage but Marina, Ellie and Ella Eyre for example are all right there - I'm especially baffled at Ellie not being nominated. British music hasn't been the absolute best this year but they're really scraping with some of these, I've literally never even remotely heard of Father John Mistry.
Of course Adele will win best female and best album, apart from that (which are deserved within her categories) I'm pleased to see Courtney Barnett nominated. I honestly hope Black Magic (or Hello/King) has a chance at best single, best video will be 1D I imagine, again. |

The 'International Male' category always has to provide that WHO?! moment with one of their nominees. Absolutely no idea who Father John Misty is either

Eagles of Death Metal probably have International Band wrapped up. Always amuses me when people say that certain acts should be nominated over others caused they've sold more, since when has it been the best selling acts, in that cause Bob the Builder would have won Best British Male in 2000!

Father John Misty's (used to be in Fleet Foxes to give a bit more background~) album got a ton of acclaim so him getting a spot is understandable imo. Unlike the Amy Winehouse & U2 nominations- wtf?

Yeah Father John Misty had a pretty big year, his album was released to pretty much universal acclaim.
Major Lazer for international group plz 🙌🏼 |

Even without my Stan boots on, Little Mix not being nominated for best group comes across as very snobby and slightly sexist. I know the sexist card is used very often, but they outsold all but one in that category on singles AND albums. They had much better performances (I know that's subjective, but come on) and their album was more well received critically than One Direction, Coldplay or Years & Years (don't get me wrong, I LOVE Y&Y and want them to win). They were the second highest selling group of 2015 in the UK and there's no reason they should have not been nominated.
I'm really pleased Lana Del Rey and Years & Years got nominations. What's Ariana getting nominated? Her last album or Focus? |

I know that they aren't necessarily BRITs material but I think when they've had such a huge year, critically and commercially! It gets a bit boring when the same kind of acts are nominated and the same kind of acts are snubbed, but I guess that's the way award shows work. One Last Time and Focus were both singles in 2015! I guess both of those. I'd like to see her win it if not Courtney Barnett but I'm set on Courtney <3 |

Amy Winehouse has been dead for almost five years. Her getting a nomination purely because of her documentary film is basically a giant middle finger in the faces of Ella Eyre and Ellie Goulding

The Brit nominations as ludicrous and irrelevant as ever. Fully understand, appreciate & support nominations not being based on sales/popularity but some of these are ridiculously obscure.

Shame Ella Eyre didn't get any nominations but she did well at the MOBOs at least.
Wish You Were Mine getting a nom  Although don't like how 5 songs are nominated for both single & video. Like they just made the first list then got bored and couldn't be bothered to think of any more for the second. |

The Best Single noms are based on the highest selling singles and Best Video on highest views so there's obviously going to be overlap.

I'd be pleased for 9 of the 10 Best Single Nominees to win (but I'm hoping King wins). Pleasantly surprised Wish You Were Mine was nominated.
