The MTV VMAs (Video Music Awards) return in 2024, bringing the iconic competition that celebrates the best music videos from the past 12 months, and more.
The voting has already started, and you can now vote for your favorite artist in 15 different categories. The most prestigious one is undoubtedly “Video of the Year.”
To vote, simply visit the mtv.com/vma/vote/ website and cast your vote. You can vote multiple times, but only after a certain interval indicated by a countdown at the bottom of the page.
Now, let’s take a look at the artists who have received the most nominations.
Leading the pack is Taylor Swift with a whopping 10 nominations, followed closely by Post Malone, with whom she recently released the single Fortnite. Other nominees include Ariana Grande, Eminem, and Sabrina Carpenter, as well as Megan Thee Stallion, SZA, LISA, Olivia Rodrigo, and Teddy Swims.
Before diving into the full list of nominees across various categories, remember that the awards ceremony will take place on September 10, 2024, at the UBS Arena in New York. In Italy, the show will be broadcast live in the original language on the night between September 10 and 11, starting at 2:00 AM on MTV (Sky channel 131 and streaming on NOW), MTV Music (Sky channels 132 and 704), and Comedy Central (Sky channel 129 and streaming on NOW).
