actually there are far too few categories. that's the problem. how about best original tune then - where does that go?

and what's the thinking behind best duo, best band and best live act? are the duo and band not live then? are people supposed to be voting on recorded or live output or both, and why is that not made clear? why do they send a list of CDs out when people are nominating performers - some of whom many not have put a CD out this year?

they should spend less money paying celebs to hand out the gongs and put a bit more effort into making the awards worthy and sensible in the first place

the whole thing is a mess
