I'm Dana Ward and I'm saying, let's jump right into this official nominee list for this year's MTV Video Music Awards. If we're giving a winner based on the number of nods, the 2010 victor is Lady Gaga. She earned 13 nominations - and she is the first artist to ever receive two nods in the Vid of the Year category... meanwhile Eminem got runner-up this year with 8 nominations. There were even some first-time VMA-ers including Justin Bieber for Best New Artist, Ke$ha for Best New Artist, Best Female Vid and Best Pop Video, Drake in the Best Male Video and Best Hip Hop Vid Categories, B.o.B. for Best Male Video, Best Collaboration, Best Pop Video, Best Hip Hop Video and Video of the Year. Also first timers, Florence + The Machine got 4 nods while Mumford and Sons got a nomination too. Beyonce gets some creds because her work with Gaga - in Video Phone and Telephone - got noticed. A few other artists mixed in there include Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Jay-Z, Jason Derulo, Usher, Pink, Paramore, Muse, Rihanna and more. In addition to the normal BEST OF categories in hip hop, pop, rock, dance as well as the behind-the-scenes special effects, editing, direction, cinematography, choreography and art direction, Best New Artist, Best Female Video and Best Male Video are some of the coveted trophies. But, of course, Video of the Year is the hottest win of VMAs. This 2010 MTV round includes Lady Gaga's Bad Romance, Florence + The Machine's Dog Days Are Over, 30 Seconds to Mars' Kings and Queens, Lady Gaga featuring Beyonce and Telephone as well as Eminem's Not Afraid and B.o.B featuring Hayley Williams and Airplanes.
