Barry S - who tipped us off to the fun - had a simple response:

Enya? Good grief.

Still, at least there's a smattering of mentions for Lisa Hannigan, which is encouraging, and she might just be able to benefit if there's a split 'dull band' vote between The Script and Snow Patrol in the album category.

But Dave Fanning still getting lifted on the shoulders?
