Předávání cen časopisu NME se udílí už od roku 1953. I tento rok bude Londýn svědkem dalšího udílení cen a to v O2 Academy Brixton.
V nominaci za nejlepší skupinu se již tradičně objevili Muse, kteří byli i výherci munulého ročníku. Jako další jsou nominováni Arctic Monkeys, Biffy Clyro, Foals či Kasabian. Muse a taktéž Kasabian jsou i v nominaci na nejlepší Live kapelu. V nejlepším albu můžeme vidět například Crystal Castles s jejich „Crystal Castles II“, nebo My Chemical Romance „Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys“. Ta samá deska je však i v sekci nejhoršího alba.
Zajímavé jsou právě ony nominace v těch zápornějších kategoriích, kde se například v nejhorším albu objevuje Justin Bieber a jeho „My World“, u nejhorší kapely zase 30 Seconds To Mars, nebo Jonas Brothers, kteří byli výherci této kategorie v minulém roce.
V rámci předávání mimo jiné vystoupí Foo Figthers, či my Chemical Romance.
