Brit Awards Nominees To be Announced on The Brits Are Coming TV Special

It has been announced that the Brit Award nominees are set to be announced on the TV special The Brits Are Coming next month. The historical first-ever gender-neutral categories were announced last week when it was also announced that comedian Mo Gilligan is to host the Brit Awards 2022.

The Brit Awards was previously known as The British Record Industry Britannia Awards and was used to mark the Queen’s Silver Jubilee in 1977. There has been an annual ceremony since 1982 and the Classical Music Brt Awards is held in May annually. The name change from The British Record Industry Britannia Awards to the Brit Awards occurred in 1989. The 2022 Brit Award Ceremony will be making Brit history with the nominated categories now being made, gender-neutral to recognise equality, diversity and inclusion.

Organisers of the Brit Awards said at the time of the announcement that, “The change was to reward artists “solely for their music and work, rather than how they choose to identify or as others may see them, as part of The Brits’ commitment to evolving the show to be as inclusive and as relevant as possible”
