It's not often that I comment on music, but the MTV Video Music Awards are important for two reasons. The first of which is that they awards music videos as the Oscars awards films. The second is that you never know when Kanye is going to be a total douchebag. Also, it felt worth noting that Lady Gaga was nominated for 13 awards, and her Bad Romance music video is in position to take the majority. The nominations are listed below.
