Considering she put out a video for every track on her Essential self-titled album, it’s no surprise that Beyoncé is poised to rule the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards. That’s not to say she doesn’t deserve the eight nods she received this morning — the clips were pretty fantastic, especially the steamy one for “Drunk in Love,” which is up for Video of the Year. Bey also received nominations for the strip-club-set “Partition,” which won’t make Bill O’Reilly happy, and the self-affirming “Pretty Hurts.”
The nominees, which were announced via Snapchat earlier today, are then led by Iggy Azalea and Eminem, with seven apiece. Azalea’s up for her breakthrough, Clueless-remaking “Fancy,” while Em could take home some moonman statues for “Rap God,” “Berzerk,” and his Rihanna collaboration, “The Monster.” Other multiple nominees include Pharrell, Miley Cyrus, Lorde, and Sia.
The 2014 VMAs will take place August 24 at 9 p.m. ET from the Forum in Inglewood, California. The full nomination list is below.
