BRIT Awards 2014 Nominations
Bastille and dance duo Disclosure lead this year’s BRIT Awards nominations with four each. David Bowie, Ellie Goulding, Rudimental, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and One Direction are among the other nominees. Miley Cyrus and Beyonce were among the high profile omissions. Beyonce released her recent surprise album too late for consideration in many of the categories, while Miley Cyrus may have been shunned due to her recent behavior both on and off stage.
