Okay, they’re in. Here’s who you can now vote for at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2009. The nominees were announced at 12am this morning. Where was I? Eagerly anticipating them.

In Short

Lady Gaga and Kings of Leon are equal in nominations, with 5 each. Green Day, Leona Lewis and Tokio Hotel are the first three acts announced to perform at the event. Best Video is to be decided by the MTV Judges, but it’s more than likely, I think, going to be Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies”. After all, it’s not going to be Taylor Swift, is it? Sure, “Beyoncé has one of the best videos of all time”. I’ll post a list of my predictions another time after I’ve had a think about it, but one thing is certain, it should make for a very interesting event. Gaga vs. Kings of Leon is something I want to see.

All this entertainment, in Berlin, 20 years after the fall of the wall, and 15 years since the first EMA shall be quite special. C’mon November 5th! Hopefully I get to see it in person, however.
