2010: MTV VMA Nominees
MTV announced the 2010 MTV Video Music Award Nominees today. As expected, it's all about Lady Gaga with a record breaking 13 nominations and, in a rare feat, both "Bad Romance" and "Telephone" are nominated in the Video of The Year category. Other Video of the Year nominees are: 30 Seconds To Mars "Kings and Queens", B.o.B. f/ Haley Williams "Airplanes", Eminem "Not Afraid", and Florence + The Machine "Dog Days Are Over", which is the other big story of the 2010 VMA nominees.
Underground act Florence + The Machine will crash the mainstream, thanks to five nominations for the LEGS-directed "Dog Days Are Over" clip, including the aformentioned nod for Video Of The Year.
trivia: Other artists/acts to score two VOTY nominees in the same year are: David Lee Roth in 1985 and U2 in 1988. It's also worth noting that neither of them took home the award, so don't throw any money down on Lady Gaga.
A full list of nominees and credits are below... Click thru the jump to see em all...
