Here Are The 2017 VMA Nominations

The nominees for the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards have been announced, and things look a little different this year. As they did with their movie and TV awards, MTV has dropped the gender specific categories, like Male Video and Female Video, and instead is handing out one award for Artist of the Year. They’ve also added a category for songs that fight injustice, dubbed the Fight Against The System award. 

Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar nabbed the most nominations this year with eight, including one for Artist of the Year, followed by Katy Perry and The Weeknd, who each nabbed five. The Weeknd is also nominated for Artist of the Year, along with Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran, Ariana Grande and Lorde.

The 2017 MTV Video Music Awards are set for August 27th at 8 pm live from The Forum in Inglewood, California. Voting is open now. Click here to cast your vote.
