However, it's not over just yet. Competition in each category is extremely tight and there's still time to vote if you want your favourites to take a shiny K! trophy home on the night. Or the following morning, for that matter.
Voters who are 18 years of age and over will be in with a chance to win their very own table at this year's ceremony. Yes, you and nine friends could be rubbing shoulders with - and potentially stepping over - the biggest names in rock at the Kerrang! Awards 2008!
