Talking of tiring of award shows, the Press Gazette have announced the nominations for this year's British Press Awards which are due to take place in London on 20 Mar - with the 'Cocaine Kate' story that helped keep the Doherty soap opera spinning in 2005 up for Scoop Of The Year.
Of course, the main scoop involving the British Press Awards is that Associated Newspapers, the Telegraph Group and Northern & Shell are all boycotting the event because the awards bash has become increasingly raucous in recent years - with the stand out moment of last year's event probably when Bob Geldof, presenting an award, started lashing out at the Daily Mail before launching into a stand up row with Mirror editor Richard Wallace. Despite efforts by new Press Gazette owners Matthew Freud and Piers Morgan to convince those publishers that this year's awards would be better managed, all three companies have refused to play ball, meaning no staff writers from their respective publications have been shortlisted.
Nevertheless, organisers will be hoping all that doesn't lessen the prestige of being a nominee - a full list of them is at the bottom of today's Daily.
