Best Music Video is going to Rain on Me and Best K-Pop video is going to Obsession. Both are the best looking videos with the most interesting concepts

While I stand by my joke that the Best Rock category looks like it was taken straight out of 2005, I listened to all the nominees last night, and Evanescence and The Killers have easily the best songs of the bunch. I’d rank them like this:

1. Evanescence, “Wasted on You” (the Rachel Platten/Leona Lewis-type intro threw me off a bit, but man, does the song pick up!)
2. The Killers, “Caution” (love the new wave sound!)
3. Coldplay, “Orphans” (is this a rock song, though?)
4. blink-182, “Happy Days” (not their worst)
5. Green Day, “Oh Yeah” (meh)
6. Fall Out Boy f/. Wyclef Jean, “Dear Future Self (Hands Up)” (this is so unremarkable compared to the songs/videos they won VMAs for back in the 2000s)

I need to watch the videos now, to see if my order changes for the visuals. But let’s be honest, Coldplay, Green Day, and FOB are the only ones who stand a chance, sadly.

Fun fact: Wyclef might have the new record for longest time between nominations at the VMAs (for an artist), since his last noms (and wins) were back in 1998. I have to double-check the archives, but he definitely passed who I believe to be the previous record-holder, Lenny Kravitz (2001-2019).

I don’t like the idea that Dua has to risk taking a flight to NY much less if she is not going to win anything.

most probably they made the nominees according to who responded to their save-the-date, which would explain dua and harry’s omission for example
