2010 MTV Video Music Awards Nominations


lady-gaga-telephone-3Lady Gaga sets record with 13 2010 MTV Music Award Nominations including “Bad Romance,” and “Telephone,” with Beyonce. “I’m so honored for all the little monsters and self-professed freaks of the universe, to have more VMA nominations in a single year than any artist in MTV history,” Gaga says in a statement from MTV. “Ironically, I’m even more proud it’s an unlucky number: 13. God put me on Earth for three reasons: To make loud music, gay videos and cause a damn ruckus. Thank you, MTV!”

Eminem comes in second as the year’s most nominated male artist with eight nominations. Other nominees include Justin Bieber, Florence + The Machine, Jason Derulo, Ke$ha, B.o.B, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Pink, Katy Perry and Usher.
