MTV VMAs 2022: Nominees and voting

Special award for Nicki Minaj

Before the official voting ends, Nicki Minaj has already been announced as the winner of this year’s VMA’s “Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award”. The award is given to artists who have set a milestone in the production of music videos.

These artists are nominated

Jack Harlow, Lil Nas X and Kendrick Lamar have been nominated seven times each in the 2022 VMAs, which makes them absolute favourites. Doja Cat Y Harry Styles they are nominated six times each and follow them closely Billie Eilish, Drake, Dua Lipa, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift Y The Weeknd with five nominations each.

It makes us a little sad that only Lizzo has been able to sneak into the category of “Best Artist of the Year”, which is otherwise exclusively male. Something is not right, right?
