The Mercury Music Prize nominations cover releases from the previous 12 months, so it would cover 2007 & 2008.
Like you, I'm completely mystified as to why Duffy wasn't nominated, her album is undoubtedly one of the best of recent times.

I am thoroughly amazed that everyone here voted for Laura Marling. Just an unoriginal clone of Joni Mitchell. I do have a couple of tracks from her on my ipod, but in today's music I prefer the Amys, Duffys and Adeles of the world above Laura Marlings. Apologies to all who voted for her - I suppose I just have a bad taste. I prefer soulful to folksy any day
