Winehouse gets three Ivor Novello nods

LONDON (Reuters) - Singer/songwriter Amy Winehouse has been nominated three times for coveted Ivor Novello Awards, including twice in one category.

The Grammy-winning artist, whose troubled private life and battle against drug addiction have overshadowed her recording success, is up for best song musically and lyrically with both "Love Is a Losing Game" and "You Know I'm No Good".

She is running against "Let Me Out" by Ben's Brother.

The 24-year-old, who won five Grammy Awards in February, is also nominated in the best-selling British song category with "Rehab". Also shortlisted for that award is "Beautiful Liar", performed by Beyonce and Shakira, and Mika's "Grace Kelly".

Winehouse won an Ivor Novello Award last year for best contemporary song with "Rehab".

British indie rockers Cherry Ghost were nominated twice -- for best contemporary song with "People Help the People" and best album with "Thirst For Romance".

In the former category they are competing against Kate Nash ("Foundations") and the Klaxons ("Golden Skans"). Also shortlisted for best album were Radiohead ("In Rainbows") and Stephen Fretwell ("Man On the Roof").

Best original film score will be contested by Dario Marianelli for "Atonement", Adrian Johnston for "Becoming Jane" and Christopher Gunning for "La Vie En Rose". Marianelli won an Oscar for his work on "Atonement".

The nominees for most performed work in 2007 are the Kaiser Chiefs ("Ruby"), Take That ("Shine") and Just Jack ("Starz In Their Eyes").
