MTV har gått ut med nomineringarna till årets Video Music Awards. Förra årets mest spektakulära händelse var när Kanye West höll sitt tio minuter långa tal, och avslutade med att han ska ställa upp i presidentvalet år 2020. Flest nomineringar i år fick Beyonce med hela elva stycken, främst för sin musikvideo till ”Formation”. Efter henne följer Adele med sju, Adiana Grande med fem och Drake med fyra nomineringar. Andra artister som också har chansen att vinna är bland annat Rihanna, Chance the Rapper, The Weeknd, Bryson Tiller, 2 Chainz och Desiigner.
