The nominations for this year's MTV Video Music Awards have finally been announced.
There's few surprises in the list, with Beyoncé leading the pack and set to sweep the board with a grand total of five nominations in the main categories. However, we are shocked by the low quality of some of the videos nominated. Justin Bieber's 'Sorry', a green screen dance video which doesn't even feature the singer and plays out like a fan-made compilation, is one of the nominations; while Rihanna's 'Work', the no-choreography, no-creativity, no-looks, no-aesthetic, no-talent video that was so boring they had to film two, is also nominated twice; and Sia's music video that isn't a music video but is actually a lyric video for 'Cheap Thrills' is also nominated. Meanwhile, more worthy music videos like Fergie's 'MILF$', Gwen Stefani's 'Make Me Like You', Lana Del Rey's 'High By The Beach', Bonnie McKee's 'I Want It All' and Cupcakke's 'Pedophile' were all paid dust.
There's no word yet on hosts or performances we can expect on the night, but given whose currently promoting new music we can expect performances from the likes of Katy, Rihanna, Britney, Beyonce and Adele.
What do you think of the nominations? Are they well deserved or are there some glaring omissions? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
