The Ivors 2023 Nominees Revealed: Harry Styles, Ed Sheeran, Florence Welch, MORE

The Ivors is a prestigious award bestowed to English and Irish artists and songwriters, and this year's roster of nominees is about to reach their career milestones.

According to reports, The Ivor Academy just revealed its complete list of nominees, and it was led by Harry Styles and Kid Harpoon.

Styles and Harpoon were both nominated under three categories: songwriter of the year with Amazon Music, best song musically and lyrically, and PRS for music most performed work for "As It Was."

The Grammy Award winner was also nominated for starring in the film "Don't Worry Darling," as it was nominated for best original film score.

Milestones

According to the Guardian, another "extraordinary" feat that fans might enjoy to know is that Kate Bush was nominated for best contemporary song for her 1985 hit "Running Up That Hill."

The song was released decades ago, but was given a second chance at the music award shows after it was featured on the award-winning Netflix series, "Stranger Things."

After going viral, it resurfaced and climbed the UK music charts, peaking at No. 1-a feat that is very difficult to achieve in itself.

Nominated alongside Styles and Harpoon is Florence Welch, the lead singer of Florence + The Machine. She is the only individual who was nominated for Songwriter of the Year.
