GAGA AND BEYONCE TO CLEAN UP AT MTV AWARDS ??

Its gearing up to be ladies night at this years MTV Video Music Awards in New York next month. As expected Lady Gaga leads the race with a stunning 9 nominations , tying with Beyonce. Gaga's nods come for Pokerface in the main categories such as Video Of The Year , Best female Video , Best Pop Video and Best New Artist. The Jonas Ackerlund directed Paparazzi steals mentions in the technical categories for Cinematography and Art Direction. Its a phenomenal achievement for GaGa in her debut year and her first VMA's held appropriately enough in her beloved NYC. A triumphant homecoming or a night of snubs a la Craig David at the Brits , it remains to be seen but is highly unl.ikely
But shes got a fight on her hands in the form of one Beyonce. Her Single Ladies promo has become one of the most memorable videos of the year. We'd expect the bootylicious one to be a red hot favourite for Video Of The Year. The video has become a true pop culture moment for this year. I much preferred If I Were A Boy however. No confirmation on whether either ladies will be performing at this years bash , but expect both to steal the show and some prestigious moonmen.
Elsewhere , MTV's love affair with Britney Spears continues as Womanizer earns her a none too shabby seven nominations , including Video Of The Year. Spears won the same award last year for Piece of Me. Hard to see her repeating last years clean sweep , but given MTV's fondness for her , it would'nt be a surprise.
Other deserved nominees include Pink , Kings of Leon , Green Day , Bat for Lashes ,Coldplay , Taylor Swift , Kanye West and Eminem.
Shockingly , given the huge success they're enjoying globally and in the US at the moment following teir marathon run at the top of Hot 100 , the Black Eyed Peas haven't registered a single nomination.
We here at Dirty Pop expect Beyonce to clean up for Single Ladies , with Lady GaGa scooping a double at the least. I'd also expect Kanye to take one home.
