In a very male-led nomination list, Mabel's name stands out, she has been nominated for three awards, Best British Female, Best New Artist and Best Song. There's been a lot of talk around this year's nominees with Mabel being one of the few female artists up for awards in mixed categories. The only other female artist on the list of mixed nominees is Miley Cyrus for her song with Mark Ronson - 'Nothing Breaks Like A Heart'.

People seem to be quite shocked that Ed Sheeran is only up for one award. In previous years Ed has been nominated for and won loads of awards at the Brits. This year his song with Justin Bieber 'I Don't Care' is up for Best Song, and that's the only award he's been entered for.
