Lily Allen is shortlisted for Best Album for her fifth LP, West End Girl, with Wolf Alice's The Clearing and Jim Legxacy's Black British Music (2025) completing the nominees.
The British-Irish composer Robin Carolan is among the nominees in the Film Score category for his score to Nosferatu, while Belfast's David Holmes and Brian Irvine are among the nominees in the Television Soundtrack category for their soundtrack to the series Trespasses.
