Čini se da će atmosfera na ovogodišnjoj dodjeli nagrada MTV Video Music Awards biti poprilično napeta i neizvjesna. To pokazuje činjenica da je Lil Nas X trenutno izjednačen s Jackom Harlowom i Kendrickom Lamarom po broju nominacija. Nas i Harlow dijele mnoge nominacije zahvaljujući zajedničkom radu na “Industry Baby”, uključujući nominacije za video godine i najbolju suradnju. Ali oni će se međusobno natjecati u kategoriji izvođača godine, zajedno s Badom Bunnyjem, Drakeom, Edom Sheeranom, Harryjem Stylesom i Lizzo. Lamarove nominacije — prve od 2018. — uključuju najbolji hip-hop za “N95”; Video for Good, za “The Heart Part 5”; i najbolja režija, za “Family Ties”.
Styles i Doja Cat osvojili su po šest nominacija, dok su Drake, Sheeran, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Taylor Swift i Weekend osvojili po pet. Sama kraljica popa, Madonna, također je ušla u povijest kao jedina izvođačica koja je bila nominirana u svakom desetljeću od početka dodjele. Već je bila najnagrađivanija umjetnica u povijesti VMA, s 20 pobjeda, a zahvaljujući “Madame X” sada se može pohvaliti sa 69 nominacija u karijeri.
VMA će se emitirati u nedjelju, 28. kolovoza, u 20 sati, a mi donosimo cijeli popis nominiranih u nastavku.
