We may still have a couple of questions about this year’s MTV Video Music Awards — like who’s hosting the night of music — but at least we know that everyone who is nominated! Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande are the leaders of the nominees with nine nominations each, thanks in large part to its instant club collaboration “Rain on Me”, followed by Billie Eilish and The Weeknd with six nominations each. Not only does this year’s list of nominees to the headquarters of two of quarantine of the specific categories (best music video of the home and the best of quarantine performance), but it also has a pair of history-makers; Eilish is the first artist in VMA history to catch two of video of the year nominations, while still in his teens, and Grande is the first artist to be nominated for best video of the year for three consecutive years since Beyoncé run from 2014 to 2016, just to name a couple. You will take home a “Moon Person” this year? Tune in August. 30 to find out!
