She has also been nominated for Best Live Act, while The View are up for Best Song for catchy hit 'Same Jeans', as well as Best Breakthrough Act.
Winehouse faces stiff competition in the Best Song category from Beth Ditto, whose band Gossip gained recognition for hit 'Standing in the Way of Control'.
It is not just the new generation of stars who will compete for awards at the London ceremony on June 18.
