The MTV Video Music Award nominations were announced yesterday, and to no one's surprise Lady Gaga scored a leading 13 nominations (a new record for the show), including nods for Video of the Year, Female Video, Pop Video, and Dance Video. The funny this is that in three of those above mentioned categories, Gaga is nominated TWICE. Her solo effort "Bad Romance" and her collaboration with Beyonce "Telephone" and "Videophone" all snagged a crap load of nominations.Excessive, isn't it?
In the "WTF was MTV thinking?" category, Jared Leto's marginally popular band 30 Seconds to Mars grabbed a Video of the Year nomination for "Kings and Queens."
...um what?
Noticeable shut outs include the Black Eyed Peas and BRITNEY, with neither act scoring a nomination this year. (Although, in Brit's defense she didn't really have any new music out this past year, other than "3", and the video was nothing to shout about.)

ReplyDeleteIt is excessive!! Telephone was okay...and video phone wasn't that good of a video. I can't stand when Beyonce tries to hard...
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Way too excessive. I figured Gaga would have a lot of nominations, but I feel MTV just did this so they could create buzz about "Lady Gaga breaking the record for the most VMA nominations everrr".
ReplyDeleteTotaly publicity stunt if u ask me!
And I alwayyss think Beyonce is trying to hard. Can someone say overrated?
