Le due popstar sono in lizza per nove premi e guidano la classifica delle candidature ai Video Music Awards 2020. Aggiunte due nuove categorie “Miglior video da casa” e “Miglior performance in quarantena”
Ariana Grande e Lady Gaga ottengono nove nomination agli MTV Video Music Awards 2020 conquistando la vetta dietro Billie Eilish (il nuovo singolo My Future) e The Weeknd, entrambi fermi a sei candidature. Quest’anno l’evento ha aggiunto anche nuove categorie per riconoscere il lavoro prodotto durante la quarantena. “Rain On Me” di Lady Gaga e Ariana Grande è stata nominata per Video Of The Year, Song Of The Year, Best Collaboration, Best Pop, Best Cinematography, Migliori Effetti visivi e Miglior Coreografia. Nella categoria più importante, video dell’anno, ci sono anche Billie Eilish con “everything i wanted”, Eminem ft. Juice WRLD con il brano “Godzilla”, Future ft. Drake per “Life Is Good”, Taylor Swift in “The Man” e The Weeknd con “Blinding Lights”.
I VMA andranno in onda in diretta il 30 agosto dal Barclays Center di Brooklyn e seguiranno tutte le linee guida sulla sicurezza. Ancora da decidere se ci sarà pubblico limitato o completamente assente. Le categorie inserite quest’anno per premiare il lavoro in lockdown sono “Best Music Video da casa” e “Miglior performance in quarantena”.
