Amy Winehouse Award Nomination

Troubled singer Amy Winehouse has been nominated for the most important creative innovation of the year after her performance at the 2008 Grammy Awards.

The 'Back To Black' singer scooped a record breaking five awards on the night, and also performed via satellite. Singing 'You Know I'm No Good' and 'Rehab' Winehouse wowed the audience, scooping more awards than other other British female solo artist in the history of the Grammys.

Lucian Grange nominated the singer for the award. "I've nominated her because she's an example of what I feel is great British talent, both as a songwriter as well as a performer," Grainge told Cabinetforum.org.

"Unique artists so often pay a steep personal price for their gift. Creativity burns bright and dark; there are shadows, there is conflict. When she's at her best, Amy Winehouse conquers the demons."

No awards are given, with up to 24 artists expected to be nominated for the awards which celebrate Britain's contribution to the arts.
