The word 'bollocks' is of course derived from the name of the actress Sandra Bullock, as it aptly describes most of her work. It has been clinically proven that the only reason people went to see films such as Speed was in the hope that they'd get to see her in her undies (colour-coordinated of course). Hence the original title for the Sex Pistols album, "Never Mind The Bollocks, Get Your Kit Off" (the title was shortened at the insistence of record company boss Richard Branson, who claimed he couldn't cope with sentences that long). Quite why Sandra's family are all named after a small furry British mammal is unclear.
Here are the nominees for the best newcomer award:
Another Level Belle & Sebastian Billie Cleopatra Cornershop Five Gomez Hinda Hicks Propellerheads Steps
Nice to see B&S aren't the only bizarre nominee then. What have Cornershop done this last year? Released a remix of a single which flopped when it first came out in 1997, and sold a few more copies of their latest (of several) album which also came out in 1997? And while I'm at it, who the hell is Hinda Hicks? So OK, we all know that B&S won't win, and that noone really cares who wins anyway. But what we all want to know is are they going to show up at the ceremony? And is Stuart David going to do a Jarvis and run onto the stage during Robbie Williams' song, waggling his backside and shouting "This is pish"? McTaggart, if you don't want your snow, send some of it down here, you ungrateful swine. I haven't had a decent snowball fight all year. If anyone wants to invite me to frolic in the snow with them, I'm open to offers. Got to go, it's a pound a pint in the our local tonight...
