There were a number of surprising snubs, however, with both Sam Smith and Rita Ora both notably absent from the list of nominees, despite being two of the most successful artists of 2017 and releasing music within the eligible period in order to receive a nomination. 

The Brit Awards will take place on 21 February at London’s O2 Arena, hosted by Jack Whitehall
