In third place in terms of the number of nominations on the MTV VMA premium - which is deservedly considered the most prestigious (and almost the only one) award in the field of music video clips - they were immediately three representatives of the American show business in the face of Beyonce, Mark Ronson and Kendrick Lamar. All three - 5 nominations on MTV VMA.
For the very honorable award - the title "Video clip of the year" - will fight clips Taylor Swift (Bad Blood), Beyonce (7/11), Ed Shiran (Thinking Out Loud), Ronson Brand (Uptown Funk) and Kendrick Lamar (Alright). Last year, the owner of the awards in this category became Miley Cyrus with their video for the song Wrecking Ball - and in 2015 the singer is not even in the list of nominees. However, from those who nominated on the "video clip of the year" in 2014, only Beyonce is present in the current list. And for the title "Rising Star" from MTV will fight FKA TWIGS - Extravagant friend Robert Pattinson.
