Speaking about their three nominations, Haim say: "We are so excited to be nominated for this year's NME awards! This will be our first time, so please be gentle."

Punk band Pussy Riot are nominated for Hero Of The Year following their imprisonment in Russia, while Russian president Vladimir Putin is nominated for Villain Of The Year.
NME editor Mike Williams says: "The past 12 months of music have had everything – returning legends, era-defining singles, more albums with a claim to be modern classics than any year in recent memory and tons of massive live moments to celebrate."
