VMAs voters seemed drunk in love for Beyoncé.
The nominations for for the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards were announced Thursday morning and Mrs. Carter leads the field with eight nods — including Video of the Year for her collaboration with husband Jay Z, “Drunk in Love.”
Rapper Eminem was close behind, notching seven nominations, as did newcomer Iggy Azalea, who will be vying against Beyonce for Video of the Year with her hit, “Fancy.”
Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball,” Sia’s “Chandelier” and Pharrell Williams’ “Happy” round out the nominees for the award show’s marquee trophy.
MTV continued its trend of using social media to unveil its nominations, this time posting Thursday’s announcement on the music network’s Snapchat account. Fans can vote for the winners starting today at vma.mtv.com.
The winners of the Moonmen statuettes will be revealed during the live telecast from LA.’s The Forum airing on MTV on Sun., Aug. 24 at 9 p.m.
Usher, Ariana Grande and 5 Seconds of Summer have been announced as performers — but they’ll have a tough act to follow after Cyrus’ now legendary twerking performance during last year’s VMAs caused so much tongue wagging.
