    WOW! 13! I’m so glad for Dan Black and Florence with nominations too! I can’t wait to see Gaga’s performance. How can she top last year?!?!?!

  • Geraint

    Dan Black’s not nominated for any VMA, right?

  • Aaron

    He is, but only for one of the lesser ones… Best Breakthrough Video: http://www.popeater.com/2010/08/03/2010-mtv-video-music-awards-vma-nominees/
    I didn’t think much of the song or video to be honest but it’s still good that someone who got mimimal notice in the UK got a nomination for one of the worlds biggest award ceremonies
