Sam Smith has won the Critics' Choice Award

With Flood & Alan Moulder already winning the Best Producer award, and Sam Smith being this year's Critics' Choice, the Brit Awards has gotten off to a flying start ahead of tomorrow night's extravaganza.

With some major acts battling it out for British Breakthrough Act, my money's on Bastille picking up the accolade, and with Lorde attending the event and scheduled to perform a collaboration with Disclosure, it's hard not to think she'll take home International Female Solo Artist, though Lady Gaga and Katy Perry may prove tough to beat.

Can Lorde match her Grammys success?

After a super strong 12 months, Justin Timberlake looks odds-on to become the award-holder for the mirroring International Male Solo Artist, and John Newman and Ellie Goulding could take home the British Male and Female Solo Artist awards.

British Group should really go to One Direction after the continuation of their worldwide domination, and it'd be great to reward Macklemore & Ryan Lewis for their brilliant work in the past 12 months.

Calvin Harris is a favourite

Calvin Harris could take home British Video after some fantastic visuals from 'I Need Your Love', featuring Ellie Goulding who is also nominated for a separate video in the category.

The hardest picks come from British Single and MasterCard British Album of the Year, and with Bastille, Calvin, Ellie, John Newman, Naughty Boy and Rudimental amongst others, it'd be foolish to try and pick out just who'll take home the gongs tomorrow night.

Bastille's Dan Smith


The Brit Awards airs live tomorrow night on ITV from 8pm, where James Corden will present for the final time.
