MTV has announced the nominees for 2016’s Video Music Awards. Beyoncé is already looking to be a big winner this year, with 11 nods for her Emmy-nominated visual for Lemonade. Adele looks to be another favorite — the 25 singer scored herself eight nominations. Other hopefuls include Ariana Grande, Kanye West, Drake, Justin Bieber, Calvin Harris, Sia, Rihanna, the Weeknd, and more.
The nominees for the night’s biggest Moonman, Video of the Year, are Adele’s “Hello,” Beyoncé’s “Formation,” Drake’s “Hotline Bling,” Justin Bieber’s “Sorry,” and Kanye West’s “Famous.” (Which begs the question: If West wins for “Famous,” does that give Taylor Swift license to interrupt his acceptance speech?)
The 2016 MTV VMAs will air live from New York’s Madison Square Garden on Sunday, August 28 at 9 p.m. ET. Check out the full list of nominees below.
