Having not read the magazine for years, it still surprised us that they didn't find a nomination or two for Phil Collins to be fair. The ceremony will take place on October 6th at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London. You lot can vote (for Nick Cave) in the meantime at http://www.qawards.co.uk/qawards2008/..
