Lily Allen is up for two awards at the Ivor Novellos
Lily Allen is leading the Brits alongside rapper Dizzee Rascal in the list of nominees for this year’s Ivor Novello awards. Both Lily and Dizzee have been nominated for two awards apiece at the prestigious bash which will take place next month.
The Smile singer admitted to being a little overwhelmed and emotional at the news of the nomination for the well respected award. However we may even see some feathers fly when the glittering ceremony arrives as Lily has been pitched against rival Cheryl Cole. Girls Aloud’s track The Promise is nominated in the category of PRS For Music Most Performed Work, as is Lily’s number one hit The Fear.
Dizzee Rascal is also riding high with two nominations. The rapper’s much-loved track Bonkers is listed in the contemporary song category, and Dizzee’s album will battle is out with Paolo Nutini amongst others for the title of Best Album.
The awards were established in 1995 to honour the composer and songwriter Ivor Novello. Each year the ceremony aims to showcase and reward the best of British musical talent.
This year’s awards ceremony will take place on May 20th.
