The MTV Video Music Awards will kick off this Sunday with a pre-show
special at 6pm EST, followed by the main event at 8pm. Diddy is
the host. Performers include 50 Cent, R. Kelly, Coldplay, The Killers,
Green Day and Kelly Clarkson. Coverage will also be continued on MTV's Overdrive online platform with on-demand access to performances, arrival footage and even some exclusive content.
Chance of rain: 60%. Chance of hurricane: Don't ask. Everything looks ok for Sunday, but many flights were cancelled, as were a good number of MTV's preliminary parties and performances.
Award predictions? Last year's show ended with a giant "Choose Or Lose" performance. We
lost. A small, but fitting revenge would be to see Green Day pick up a bunch
Moon Men. That said, don't discount Kanye West, who got shut out at the 2004 VMAs.
