NME Awards 2008 Betting
The Shockwaves NME Awards takes place on Thursday 28th February. The Arctic Monkeys have emerged as the hot favourites to win two of the biggest gongs at this year's NME awards, this takes their total nominations to fifteen in the last three years. Last year saw them lose out to Muse in the Best Band contest.
Paddy Power have made the Sheffield boys their hot favourites at 4/5 to win the award for Best British Band while their album "Favourite Worst Nightmare" is also being tipped at 11/8 to win the award for Best Album. Babyshambles is also another hot favourite to take away an award for Best British Band, as are Muse.
The bands lead singer Alex Turner appears on the shortlist for Best Dressed but is not considered a threat to My Chemical Romance`s Gerard Way or comedian Noel Fielding who are hot favourites with some of the Online Betting bookies like Paddy Power for the style award at 15/8 and 9/4 consecutively.
Good friend of Radio 2`s Russell Brand, Noel Fielding, is also the bookies favourite to win the Sexiest Male award at 6/4 while pint sized pop queen Kylie Minogue and US singer Rachael Yamagata are battling it out as they are 2/1 joint favourites to get the Sexiest Female vote.
Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for Paddy Power said: "Arctic Monkeys have always been strong favourites for the NME Awards as far back as 2006; however last year they lost out to Muse in the Best Band category. 2008 could see a triumphant return to form for the monkeys."
