La sfarsitul lunii august, in California, va avea loc o noua editie MTV Video Music Awrds, iar favoritii pe lista nominalizarilor sunt Kendrick Lamar, alaturi de Katy Perry si The Weeknd. Pe langa lista nominalizarilor, organizatorii au anuntat si cateva schimbari importante.

Categoriile Best Female Video si Best Male Video vor fi reunite sub numele Artist od the Year, ca urmare a succesului pe care l-a inregistrat MTV Movie & TV Awards cu renuntarea la separarea pe sexe. Pe langa asta, va mai aparea si o noua categorie, Best Fight Against the System, care recunoaste clipurile ce inspira fanii sa se mobilizeze si sa lupte pentru justitie.
