NME Announces Their Award Nominees For 2009!
Last night the NME Awards nominees were announced, where Oasis earned a massive seven nominations, including Best British Band, Best Live Band and Best Album. The categories range from the musical, encompass TV — where PopSugarUK favourites Gavin & Stacey and Skins are up for awards — film, web, venues, style, and then move on to the more fun Hero / Villian Of The Year categories.
Those American teen sensations the Jonas Brothers have also been recognised, with nods in the Worst Band and Worst Album categories in the reader-voted shortlists, but they shouldn't worry too much as they're also alongside Best Band nominee Oasis.
Nick And Carl Bring Telstar To The Screen
Telstar — Nick Moran’s film about the life and death of the record producer Joe Meek — screened at the London Film Festival on the very same night Che premiered. Nick's film received support from stars JJ Feild and Pam Ferris, as well as more musically-known castmate Carl Barat, who was looking a little windswept as he walked the red carpet. Nick gave an informal speech to introduce the movie to the seated audience, and it's definitely something I'm curious to see.

Meanwhile Alexa Chung hung out with Alex Turner and his bandmate Miles Kane on the grass at Leeds – what do you think of her festival look?
T4 On The Beach: A Summer-y Summary
So I've told you about my experiences with McFly, the Skins cast and Kelly Rowland at T4 On The Beach, but now it's time to show you all the rest of my photos and sum up the day. A couple of my style icons Agyness Deyn and Alexa Chung both did their thing onstage at the event, Agyness looked fab (do you agree?) in her checked shirt, which seemed to be the item du jour for all of the men who were there, from McFly's Harry and Dougie to T4 presenters Steve Jones and Rick Edwards.
The 45,000 strong crowd loved Agyness and there was a roar when she took to the stage to sing with Five O'Clock Heroes – she also brought her man Albert Hammond Jr to keep her company!
