Največ nominacij za MTV-jeve videonagrade sta letos prejela Rihanna in Drake – vsak po pet, medtem ko jima s štirimi sledi lanska velika zmagovalka Katy Perry, ki se bo potegovala tudi za glavno nagrado – videospot leta. Katy, ki je nominirana za svoj video za pesem Wide Awake, se bo za prestižno nagrado borila z Rihanno, ki je sicer nominirana za kar dva videa – za pesem We Found Love in duet z Drakom z naslovom Take Care, Gotyejem in Kimbro za Somebody That I Used to Know ter M.I.A. za Bad Girls.

O zmagovalcih bodo tudi letos odločali gledalci, ki lahko za svoje favorite že glasujejo na MTV-jevi spletni strani, kipce pa bodo podelili 6. septembra v Los Angelesu.
