The 2016 VMAs nominations will be announced on Tuesday. Check out the live stream below!
For the first time in the history of the MTV Video Music Awards, the nominees are being unveiled via a streaming event broadcast through Facebook Live. Several TV hosts and personalities from the network will be on hand to reveal who’s in the running for a coveted Moonman trophy. But that’s not all.
MTV has also enlisted more than 10 street artists to help announce the nominees for the biggest category, Video of the Year. The group will create artwork on the spot to reveal who is nominated for the award show’s top honor. Those participating include D White, John Paul Ogrodnick (JPO), Damien Mitchell, Marc Evan, Resa, BKFoxx, Queen Andrea, Hektad, Giz, Such and Poem One.
The “sweeping and panoramic mural” will highlight the five artists and videos that will be competing. The VMAs winners will eventually be announced when the MTV Video Music Awards are held at Madison Square Garden on August 28. It will mark the first time the ceremony takes place at the iconic venue, and the first time it’s held in New York since 2013.
A host for the event will be named in the coming weeks. The nominations live stream is slated to begin at 2 p.m. Eastern. Stay tuned!
