Adele, Ed Sheeran & two others lead nominees for 2022 Brit Awards; All you need to know

As the BRIT Awards 2022 nominations list recently surfaced online, it had a surprise in store for the fans when they learnt that Ed Sheeran, Adele, Dave and Little Simz topped the list with four nods each. Sam Fender, Central Cee and David Guetta landed on the second position with three nominations each with Doja Cat, Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, Lil Nas X bagging two each.

This year, the ceremony became gender-neutral with the Artist of the Year category replacing the British female and British male categories and more such changes. On the other hand, even categories such as alternative/rock, hip-hop/grime/rap, dance, and pop/R&B were added to the list of categories.

When and where to watch BRIT Awards 2022?

The ceremony is set to take place on 8 February 2022 while it will be broadcast live on ITV. For those who miss the ceremony, it will be later shown on ITV Hub.

Who will be hosting BRIT Awards 2022?

While Jack Whitehall was hosting the ceremony from quite a while ago, he recently stepped down from his duties and was replaced by The Masked Singer panellist Mo Gilligan along with Amfo and Jama.
