" The Brit Awards 2013 take place at London&amp;#039;s O2 Arena tonight and as ever among the nominees are a mixture of predictable choices, a handful of surprises and some frustrating omissions (coughEllie Goulding and The Maccabeescough) But who of this year&amp;#039;s nominees most deserves to pick up a prize? Ahead of tonight&amp;#039;s ceremony, Digital Spy gives its predictions.  Best British Male Calvin Harris - WINNER! Plan B Richard Hawley Olly Murs Ben Howard He wrote and produced Rihanna&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;We Found Love&amp;#039;. Need we say more?  Best British Female Emeli Sand\u00E9 Paloma Faith Bat For Lashes Jessie Ware - WINNER! Amy Winehouse A tough category this year, but the brilliance of Jessie Ware&amp;#039;s debut album Devotion means she edges this one for us.    Best British Group Mumford and Sons The xx Muse One Direction - WINNER! Alt-J They might not be the most (i.e the least) credible act on the list, but One Direction&amp;#039;s global takeover across the past year is worthy of an award.  Best Live Act Mumford and Sons Coldplay - WINNER! Muse The Vaccines The Rolling Stones Coldplay were hands down our favourite live act out of this lot last year. The glow-in-the-dark Xylobands were a nice touch as well.    Best International Group The Black Keys The Script Alabama Shakes Fun The Killers - WINNER! We suspect our selection here is the least likely to win the prize, but The Killers&amp;#039; latest album Battle Born was a solid comeback effort.  Best International Male Jack White Gotye Michael Bubl\u00E9 Frank Ocean - WINNER! Bruce Springsteen If Bubl\u00E9 wins this one then we&amp;#039;re going home.  Best International Female Rihanna Alicia Keys Cat Power Lana Del Rey Taylor Swift - WINNER! A tough choice, but Taylor&amp;#039;s shift into pop-country from her old country-country sound was a bold move that has paid off in spades.    Mastercard British Album of the Year Alt-J - An Awesome Wave Emeli Sand\u00E9 - Our Version of Events Paloma Faith - Fall To Grace - WINNER! Plan B - iLL Manors Mumford and Sons - Babel Alt-J won last year&amp;#039;s Mercury Prize, Mumford recently picked up three Grammys, Plan B&amp;#039;s got bagfuls of acclaim and Emeli Sand\u00E9 has been near-unavoidable of late. It&amp;#039;s about time Paloma got some real recognition for the brilliant Fall To Grace.  Best British Single Adele - &amp;#039;Skyfall&amp;#039; Alex Clare - &amp;#039;Too Close&amp;#039; Coldplay and Rihanna - &amp;#039;Princess of China&amp;#039; DJ Fresh feat. Rita Ora - &amp;#039;Hot Right Now&amp;#039; Emeli Sand\u00E9 - &amp;#039;Next To Me&amp;#039; Florence + the Machine - &amp;#039;Spectrum&amp;#039; James Arthur - &amp;#039;Impossible&amp;#039; Jessie J - &amp;#039;Domino&amp;#039; Rizzle Kicks - &amp;#039;Mama Do the Hump&amp;#039; Labrinth and Emeli Sand\u00E9 - &amp;#039;Beneath Your Beautiful&amp;#039; Robbie Williams - &amp;#039;Candy&amp;#039; - WINNER! Olly Murs feat. Flo Rida - &amp;#039;Troublemaker&amp;#039; Rita Ora feat. Tine Tempah - &amp;#039;RIP&amp;#039; Stooshe - &amp;#039;Black Heart&amp;#039; Rudimental feat. John Newman - &amp;#039;Feel the Love&amp;#039; This award should be re-named &amp;#039;Most Rabid Fanbase&amp;#039;.  Best British Breakthrough Jake Bugg Jessie Ware Alt-J Ben Howard Rita Ora - WINNER! There are some curious nominees in this category, but we think Rita deserves this one after dominating last year&amp;#039;s singles chart.  Who do you think should win Brit Awards this year?
