De prestigefyldte MTV Awards nomineringer er ude, og der er sket store og vigtige ændringer

For første gang nogensinde har MTV fjernet kategorierne " Best Female" og "Best Male" og erstattet dem med " Best Artist". Det betyder helt konkret, at artister som Ariana Grande og Ed Sheeran nu dyster i samme kategori og imod hinanden.

Tidligere i år fjernede MTV også de kønsspecifikke katgorier i MTV Movie og TV Awards.

MTVs beslutning om at fjerne kønsspecifikke katgorier er blevet rost af hele musikbranchen, og har til formål at skabe mere lighed imellem de nominerede.

Hvem ligner en sikker vinder?

Hvis man dykker lidt ned i, hvem der er nomineret, så vil man se, at Kendrick Lamar tager føringen med hele 8 nomineringer, blandt andet i Video of the Year, Best Hip Hop, and Best Cinematography, alle for singlen " Humble".

Lige i hælene har Kendrick Lamar Katy Perry, hun er nomineret 5 gange for Best Collaboration med Calvin Harris på 'Feels', Best Pop og Best Direction for 'Chained To The Rhythm'.

Vi er super spændte på, hvad de nye kategorier gør for kapløbet om de prestigefyldte priser, og vi skal helt sikkert se med d. 27 august på MTV. Vil du have et overblik over alle nomineringer, kan du i artiklen her få overblik over alle kategorier og nominerede.
