"The nominees for this year&amp;#039;s Brit Awards were announced last month, and as ever there was a mixture of predictable choices (Ed Sheeran, Adele), surprises (Fiest, Kate Bush) and the alarming omissions (i.e Katy B and Will Young!). But who deserves to pick up a prize this year? Ahead tonight&amp;#039;s ceremony, Digital Spy gives its predictions.  British Male Solo Artist Ed Sheeran James Blake James Morrison Noel Gallagher - WINNER! Professor Green We&amp;#039;d have chosen James Blake if this award was solely based on music, but Noel just tips it for us as he&amp;#039;s the best all-rounder. His debut solo effort topped the charts last year and, crucially, it was infinitely better than his brother&amp;#039;s.   British Female Solo Artist Adele - WINNER! Florence + the Machine Jessie J Kate Bush Laura Marling In ten years from now, 2011 in music will be referred to as &amp;quot;the year of Adele&amp;quot;.   British Breakthrough Act Anna Calvi Ed Sheeran Emeli Sand\u00E9 Jessie J - WINNER! The Vaccines Given she&amp;#039;s already won the Critics&amp;#039; Choice prize, we&amp;#039;re not sure what Emeli Sand\u00E9 is doing in there, but the obvious winner here is Jessie J. With her debut album approaching the million sales mark, a number one hit (soon to be two with &amp;#039;Domino&amp;#039;) and already making tracks in the US, she&amp;#039;s certainly earned it.   British Group Arctic Monkeys Chase &amp;amp; Status Coldplay - WINNER! Elbow Kasabian By &amp;quot;group&amp;quot; we&amp;#039;ll assume they mean &amp;quot;indie&amp;quot;, and in our opinion Coldplay should have this one in the bag - hopefully giving them their seventh Brit.   British Single Adele: &amp;#039;Someone Like You&amp;#039; Ed Sheeran: &amp;#039;The A Team&amp;#039; Example: &amp;#039;Changed The Way You Kiss Me&amp;#039; - WINNER! Jessie J feat B.o.B: &amp;#039;Price Tag&amp;#039; JLS feat Dev: &amp;#039;She Makes Me Wanna&amp;#039; Military Wives and Gareth Malone: &amp;#039;Wherever You Are&amp;#039; Olly Murs feat Rizzle Kicks: &amp;#039;Heart Skips A Beat&amp;#039; One Direction: &amp;#039;What Makes You Beautiful&amp;#039; Pixie Lott: &amp;#039;All About Tonight&amp;#039; The Wanted: &amp;#039;Glad You Came&amp;#039; If only this category wasn&amp;#039;t based purely on sales.   Mastercard British Album Of The Year Adele: 21 - WINNER! Coldplay: Mylo Xyloto Ed Sheeran: + Florence + the Machine: Ceremonials PJ Harvey: Let England Shake An obvious winner we&amp;#039;re sure you&amp;#039;ll agree, but a great one nonetheless.   International Male Solo Artist Aloe Blacc Bon Iver Bruno Mars - WINNER! David Guetta Ryan Adams Let&amp;#039;s be honest, it&amp;#039;s the best of a dodgy bunch.   International Female Solo Artist Beyonc\u00E9 Bjork Feist Lady GaGa Rihanna - WINNER!  For her continued effort to churn out as much quality music, videos and tours as possible, Rihanna deserves the prize this year.   International Group Fleet Foxes Foo Fighters Jay-Z and Kanye West - WINNER! Lady Antebellum Maroon 5 We&amp;#039;ve just given Watch The Throne another spin and it&amp;#039;s even better than we remembered.   International Breakthrough Act Aloe Blacc Bon Iver Foster The People Lana Del Rey Nicki Minaj - WINNER!  We almost disqualified her on the grounds that her debut Pink Friday came out back in 2010, but she&amp;#039;s easily the most deserving of the lot.  British Producer Paul Epworth - WINNER! Flood Ethan Johns Last year he produced albums for Adele, Friendly Fires and Florence + the Machine. Not a bad year by anyone&amp;#039;s standards.
