Lady Gaga sets record for most nominations in a single year, scores two Video of the Year nominations...
MTV has announced the nominees for the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards.
Lady Gaga leads the way with thirteen nods including "Best Pop Video," "Best Female Video" and "Best Dance Music Video" for "Bad Romance." It marks the most nominations ever in a single VMA as well as the first female artist nominated for two different videos in the "Video of the Year" ("Bad Romance" and "Telephone" featuring Beyoncé).
"I'm so honored for all the little monsters and self-professed freaks of the universe, to have more VMA nominations in a single year than any artist in MTV history. Ironically, I'm even more proud it's an unlucky number; 13," said Lady Gaga. "A long time ago the world told me and my little monsters we would never be heard, together we changed the rules. God put me on Earth for 3 reasons: To make loud music, gay videos, and cause a damn raucous. Thank You MTV!"
Eminem is this year's most nominated male artist, racking up eight nominations including "Best Male Video," and "Video of the Year" for "Not Afraid."
"Apparently MTV doesn't care that I have two massive stadium shows on the other side of the country the day after the VMA's. F me, right?!?!," said Eminem. "I mean, I'll be there but don't expect me to be nice about it."
VMA newcomer Ke$ha is up for three Moonmen for "Tik Tok" while up and coming rapper B.o.B has an impressive five nominations including in the "Best Hip-Hop" category for "Airplanes" against "Forever" by Drake. Other artists receiving first time VMA nominations are Justin Bieber for "Best New Artist" for "Baby," indie favorite Florence + The Machine with five noms for "Dog Days Are Over" and Jason Derulo for "In My Head." In addition, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, P!nk, 30 Seconds To Mars, Katy Perry and Usher are also nominated for Moonmen this year.
The 2010 MTV Video Music Awards"will air live from Nokia Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, September 12th at 9PM. MTV will announce additional performers, presenters and host on a later date.
