MTV VMA 2017, tutte le nomination: Kendrick Lamar, Katy Perry e The Weeknd in testa

MTV ha ufficialmente annunciato, in esclusiva su Instagram Live, le nominations dei prossimi “MTV Video Music Awards” 2017 con Kendrick Lamar che ha ottenuto ben 8 nomination per il suo video “Humble”. Katy Perry e i The Weeknd seguono con 5 nomination ciascuno. Continuando l’apprezzato percorso delle categorie senza distinzione di genere, inaugurato agli scorsi “MTV Movie & TV Awards”, il network ha annunciato che le precedenti categorie “Best Female Video” e “Best Male Video” sono state unificate nella categoria “Artist of the Year”. Inoltre, è stata aggiunta la categoria “Best Fight Against the System” per celebrare i video che possono ispirare gli spettatori a lottare contro l’ingiustizia. Gli “MTV Video Music Awards” 2017 saranno trasmessi dal “Fabulous” Forum di Inglewood, in California domenica 27 agosto. In Italia, l’evento sarà trasmesso in diretta nella notte tra domenica 27 e lunedì 28 agosto a partire dalle 2.00 su MTV (canale 133 di Sky), anticipato dal pre-show a partire dall’1.00, e in replica nei giorni seguenti in prima e seconda serata sempre su MTV (Sky 133).
