Award Nominations: 2014 BRIT Awards

The 2014 BRIT Awards announced their nominees earlier today and some of our favorites including Janelle Monáe, James Blake, Ellie Goulding, Jessie J, Laura Mvula, Birdy, Disclosure and Sam Smith got some love from the nominating committee.

 The 2014 BRIT Awards are slated to air live from London's O2 Arena on February 19, with performances currently from Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, and Arctic Monkeys, though I hope Sam Smith and Laura Mvula get added to the lineup.

With that said, peep the official nominations below and lookout for the award show when it airs on February 19th.
