The stars of UK music are preparing to battle it out at tonight's annual Brit Awards, the industry's showpiece event.
Three acts have each achieved a trio of nominations in 2013 - Mumford & Sons, Alt-J and Emeli Sande.
The same three acts also square off in the prestigious best album category, traditionally the last award of the night.
Alt-J have already won the Mercury Prize for their debut record An Awesome Wave, while folk-rockers Mumford & Sons recently picked up album of the year at the Grammys.
However, 25-year-old Emeli Sande is also a strong contender.
It's been a fantastic year for the Scot - performing at the Olympics and seeing her album, Our Version of Events, selling the most in the UK during 2012.
Elsewhere, boy-band One Direction fly the pop flag among a host of guitar bands in the best British group category, up against the likes of The xx and Muse.
There's also a posthumous nomination for Amy Winehouse in the female solo artist category.
James Corden says a repeat of last year's Adele incident is unlikely Muse are set to open the ceremony - held at London's 02 arena - with Justin Timberlake, One Direction, Taylor Swift and Robbie Williams also among the performers.
Speculation over the health of host James Corden has also been cleared up, with the actor and comedian saying he is over a bout of tonsillitis.
He told Chris Evans this morning he was feeling better, but Evans also told his radio listeners he was on standby as Corden's understudy.
Corden, 34, is hosting the event for the fourth time.
There was controversy at last year's ceremony when he was forced to cut short Adele's acceptance speech for best album.
Corden admitted he was "annoyed" by the incident but told Evans it was unlikely such a thing would happen again.
He said: "We've put things in place this year which mean that would never happen - I hope."
This year's Brit Awards statuettes has been designed by artist Damien Hirst and are covered with a multicoloured spot design, similar to many of his canvases.
