MTV announced the nominations for the 27th annual Video Music Awards Tuesday, and Lady Gaga led the field of contenders with a record-breaking 13 nods.
Eminem was second with eight nominations, while Justin Bieber and Ke$ha were among the field of first-time nominees. Others who picked up nominations included Jay-Z, newlywed and mom-to-be Alicia Keys, Katy Perry, Usher and more.
"I'm so honored for all the little monsters and self-professed freaks of the universe, to have more VMA nominations in a single year than any artist in MTV history. Ironically, I'm even more proud it’s an unlucky number; 13,” Lady Gaga said of her nominations.“A long time ago the world told me and my little monsters we would never be heard, together we changed the rules.”
For his part, Eminem gave this tongue-in-cheek comment about his nominations, "Apparently MTV doesn't care that I have two massive stadium shows on the other side of the country the day after the VMA's. … I mean, I'll be there but don't expect me to be nice about it."
