To No One's Surprise, Courtney Barnett Rules Music Victoria Awards Nominations

It really is the year of Courtney. Just two days since she dominated the 2015 ARIA nominations (with an unbelievable eight), we have word that ahead of this year's The Age Music Victoria Awards, Barnett is again leading the charge with five nominations.

She'll be battling it out for the titles of Best Album, Best Female, Best Band as well as two nominations for Best Song, up against acts such as Dorsal Fins, Marlon Williams, Harts and Jess Ribeiro.

Barnett's had a good run already with the Awards, having won big last year alongside Dan Sultan and slated in to perform at this year's event when it takes place at 170 Russell on 11 November.

You can vote on The Age Music Victoria Awards — in the process, entering the draw to win tickets to the Awards — through here. Voting closes at midnight, Friday, 6 November.
