Nominees have been announced for the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards, to be broadcast live from the Nokia Theatre L.A. on Sunday, August 28. Katy Perry leads all nominees with nine nods, closely followed by Adele and Kanye West with seven nominations each.
Surprises include Tyler, The Creator's self-directed video for "Yonkers" — now officially credited to Tyler's Wolf Haley alter-ego for the director — which is up for Video Of The Year and Best New Artist, while creative team DANIELS scored two technical nods for the Manchester Orchestra "Simple Math" video.
Video and Director Of The Year categories are immediately below; jump through the break for everything else.
