Looking at the nominees in the Entertainment category, I think A&J will struggle to beat Frank Skinner to the gold award. But I think our lads will triumph in the Comedy award.

They mentioned Adam and Joe's Sony Award nomination on The One Show briefly (13th April from 28 minutes in to 29 minutes) with guest Louis Theroux. They also played the clip when Louis and Adam and Joe are dancing as teenagers (think Adam uploaded it to his Youtube channel). Just thought I'd mention it since it's kind of cool to see them on BBC 1 prime time even if it is just an old clip!

Silver's not bad. Pity they won't be in next year's awards, unless they find the time to come back to 6 Music for another run of shows before the end of the year.
