MTV heeft vandaag alle genomineerden voor de MTV Video Music Awards 2014 bekend gemaakt. Grote kanshebbers zijn Beyoncé, Eminem en Iggy Azalea.
De kans is groot dat Beyoncé de meeste VMA’s in haar zak steekt. De vrouw van Jay-Z is in maar liefst acht categorieën genomineerd, waaronder ‘video van het jaar’, ‘beste vrouw’ en ‘beste choreografie’. De voormalig Destiny’s Child-zangeres wordt op de voet gevolgd door rappers Eminem en Iggy Azalea, die momenteel een grote hit te pakken heeft met Disneysterretje Ariana Grande (onderstaande video). Beide woordtovenaars hebben zeven nominaties op zak.
