MTV VMA Nomination Outrage

By this point, I know for a fact that any award show hosted by MTV is a complete joke. Just look at their move awards? We all know that MTV loves a sweep, as can be seen from the way the Twilight Saga movies always take all of the MTV Movie Awards they are nominated for, even when they most definitely don't deserve it. But the nominations for the MTV VMA awards are ridiculous. Folks, get ready for the Lady Gaga Awards!

Here are the list of nominees.

Now, call me biased, as I am a fan of Adam Lambert, but I've never even heard of Nicki Minaj or the Broken Bells, and Adam Lambert had more than one top 10 hit video this year. Doesn't at least one of them deserve a nomination for Best New Artist? And Owl City as well gets no nod at all in favor of artists like Justin Bieber who so clearly deserve nothing? No Mike Posner? No Taio Cruz? No Travie McCoy (who isn't a new artist, but deserved something somewhere.) Miley Cyrus gets nothing the year she finally breaks away from Disney, and yet Taylor Swift gets nominated for Best Female Video for Fifteen, which is probably the worst of her videos?

Eminem gets nominated for eight nominations for Not Afraid, which is, admittedly, a good video. Apparently, MTV also loves a comeback kid. I liked this song, and it deserved most of the recognition it got. No complaints.

But the nominations for Best Choreography are what really get to me. Lady Gaga, Lady Gaga ft. Beyonce, Beyonce ft. Lady Gaga and only then does anyone else get any recognition? It's official, these things are a joke.
