MTV announced the nominees for the 2009 Video Music Awards today, with Beyonce and Lady Gaga getting the most attention. You the commoners will be able to go online or text your vote for the winner.
Video of the Year
Beyonce- “Single Ladies [Put a Ring on It]” (with SNL, the Jonas Brothers, and a million youtube-rs trying to do the dance, was it any doubt she’d get nominated?)
Lady Gaga- “Poker Face”
Britney Spears- “Womanizer”
Eminem- “We Made You”
Kanye West- “Love Lockdown”
Best New Artist
Lady Gaga- “Poker Face”
Drake- “Best I Ever Had” (aka Jimmy from Degrassi)
3OH!3- “Don’t Trust Me” (this song makes me want to rip out the stereo in my car. I’ll throw my TV against the wall if they win)
Kid Cudi- “Day ‘N’ Nite”
Asher Roth- “I Love College” (I’m so very glad this song became popular after I graduated from college so I didn’t have to hear it at every damn kegger, tailgate or study session)
Best Male Video
Eminem- “We Made You”
Ne-Yo- “Miss Independent”
Kanye West- “Love Lockdown”
T.I. and Rihanna- “Live Your Life” (how do they deal with Rihanna and the Best Male category? Your rigid gender roles have come back to haunt you, MTV!)
Jay-Z- “D.O.A. [Death of Auto-Tune]”
Best Female Video
Lady Gaga- “Poker Face”
Beyonce- “Single Ladies [Put a Ring on It]”
Katy Perry- “Hot N Cold”
Kelly Clarkson- “My Life Would Suck Without You”
Taylor Swift- “You Belong With Me”
Pink- “So What”
The VMAs will be hosted by Russell Brand again (purity ring jokes again too?). Pink, Green Day, Muse and Taylor Swift are set to perform, with more performances being announced soon. The VMAs will air September 13 at 9pm.
