Lady Gaga, BTS, Justin Bieber Among Top 2020 MTV EMA Nominees

MTV has announced that Lady Gaga is the top nominee for the 2020 MTV EMA (Europe Music Awards), closely followed by BTS and Justin Bieber.

Gaga has seven nods, including best video, best song and best collaboration, all for “Rain on Me,” her megahit collaboration with Ariana Grande. (Grande was last year’s leading nominee at the MTV EMAs, with seven nods.) BTS and Justin Bieber were runners-up to Gaga, with five nods each this year.

The MTV EMA added three new categories: best Latin, video for good and best virtual live this year. The first two of these three categories were imported from the MTV Video Music Awards, where they were introduced in 2010 and 2011, respectively.

Voting is now open at the event’s official website. It will remain open until November 2 at 11:59 p.m. CET. This is the 27th edition of the show, which is set to air globally via MTV on Sunday, November 8.
