Rihanna könnte unter anderem einen Preis für das beste Video für ‘We Found Love’ bekommen. Ihr Duett-Partner Drake könnte in fünf Kategorien gewinnen und zwar auch in der Kategorie ‘Bestes Video eines Mannes’ – hier würde er auf seinen Rivalen bei Rihanna treffen – Chris Brown.
Die beste Freundin von Rihanna, Katy Perry, bekam vier Nominierungen. Andere Stars wie Beyoncé Knowles, Justin Bieber, Kanye West und Gotye wurden ebenfalls bedacht. Die Verleihung findet am 6. September in Los Angeles statt. Soul-Star Alicia Keys wird durch den Abend führen, der im Staples Center in Los Angeles um fünf Uhr Ortszeit beginnt.
