NME -New Musical Express is a British music journalism website and former magazine. The NME Awards is an awards show held every year to celebrate the best new music of the past year. The nominations and eventual winners are voted for by the readers of the magazine.

The first awards show was held in 1953 as the NME Poll Winners Concerts, shortly after the founding of the magazine. Though the accolades given are entirely genuine, the ceremony itself is usually carried out in a humorous and jovial manner, and have included categories in the past like "Villain of the year" and "Worst Record". The trophies given to the winners resemble an extended middle finger.

I am so tired MSM trashing Trump. It is not funny and just shows their limited intellectual abilities.

I wonder how they pick nominees and who votes?

Andrew King, But she is right, he is a buffoon. What did his "conversation and negotiation" with North Korea produce, they are still building nuclear weapons. And his meetings with Putin....what good did that do, Putin pulls trumps strings.
