MTV Europe Music Awards nominations announced
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 20 September 2011
I lose track of all these MTV awards ceremonies, it really doesn’t seem like a whole year since we last celebrated the best European music, like, erm, Lady Gaga, Foo Fighters and Snoop Dogg. Presumably the MTV Europe Music Awards are about the music people in Europe like rather than the music people in Europe make. That would certainly explain why they’ve added a Latin American section to the regional awards. Though why they are celebrating artists whose fans just happen to be big I don’t know, perhaps obesity is in vogue in Europe just now. Anyway, whatever, there’ll be a bash in Belfast on 6 Nov and awards will be handed out to people, for whatever reason, and everyone will be happy.
Here are the non-region specific nominations:
