The nominations for the NME Awards were announced earlier this week (Digital Spy has them in full). Oasis have been nominated in four categories, and the Gallagher brothers are likely to turn up to the ceremony, possibly meeting each other for the first time since the band split. I spy trouble.
Oasis split in August, when Noel and Liam’s relationship finally boiled over after years of threatening to do so. Noel has since moved back to Manchester to write a solo album, with Liam setting up a new band out of the remnants of Oasis.
Oasis may be no more, but the band are still being nominated for multiple awards from their last year together. For the NME Awards on February 24, Oasis are up for ‘Best British Band’, ‘Best Video’ for Falling Down, ‘Best Live Event’ for their Heaton Park gig, and hmm, ‘Worst Band’. Both Gallagher brothers are also up for ‘Villain Of The Year’, Noel is up for ‘Hero Of The Year’ and ‘Best Blog’, and Liam is up both for ‘Best Dressed’ and ‘Worst Dressed’.
The chances are that both will attend, so the opportunity for trouble is there. Bookies are offering odds both on the pair getting into fisticuffs and reuniting on stage to accept an award.
Digital Spy reports Sharon McHugh from Paddy Power saying:
“Oasis are old time favorites of the NME Awards, so it’s really no surprise that they’ve been nominated. The big question for music fans this year is not what bands will win but more will there be fisticuffs at this year’s ceremony?”
This makes the NME Awards worth watching, which it always is anyway as there’s a mixture of controversy and great performances. It’s like the rebellious younger brother to the Brit Awards. If the Gallaghers end up having a ruck then I’ll be sitting there with my popcorn urging Noel onto victory.

I heard that Noel and Liam had a big falling out. That split must have really ruffled some feathers. They don’t seem like the “kiss and makeup” kind of brothers either. That’s a shame.
