The 2016 MTV Music Video Awards Nominations are in. “Lemonade” by Beyonce tops the list with 11 nominations including Video of the Year for “Formation.” Adele is next in line with 8 nominations, 7 of which are for “Hello” which includes Actor/Singer Mack Wilds. He congratulated Adele on his Instagram page:
“Congrats on all the #VMA nominations love. – Mack” (mackwilds)
With all that said, there is controversy as the MTV’s princess Taylor Swift has been left out of the party. It is true, she received no nominations. Maybe MTV doesn’t like liars and are #TeamKanye. Either way, the night will be lots of fun to watch. Here is a list of the nominees. The show airs live from Madison Square Garden on Sunday, August 28 at 9 pm eastern standard time.
