The BRIT Awards Take Place Tonight - Here Are The Nominees & Our Predictions!

Hopefully we're right in most of them, or that would be embarrassing!

Ant and Dec will present the annual BRIT Awards tonight in London's O2 Arena. The event is seen as the equivalent of the Grammys on this side of the pond and this year there are some very impressive acts performing at the ceremony.

Taking to the stage to entertain the audience and stars are Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Coldplay, Adele, The Weeknd, Jess Glynne and James Bay. There will also be a special tribute to the late, great David Bowie who died at the age of 69 on January 10th of this year. 

You can catch the BRIT Awards from 8pm onwards on ITV.

Of course the most important part of the night are the awards.

Here are the nominations:
