Thank You ... For Revoking My Nomination?
Reported by heyrevolver
Dido was recently stripped of her "Best Newcomer" Brit Award nomination on Wednesday, because the Official UK Charts Company, who compiled the list of eligible artists, realized she wasn't that "new"; she had been nominated for the same award last year. Dido was undaunted by the news, she commented: "I think it's quite funny. It's so silly. You just don't question it. If you're given a nomination, you don't think, 'Oh, am I eligible?' You just don't know the rules. I don't know if anyone knows the rules." Nevertheless, Dido is still nominated for "Best Female Solo Artist" and "Best Album" for "No Angel", which has sold 12 million copies worldwide. The Brit Awards will be held at London's Earl's Court on February 20th.
