[NEWS] See The Full List Of MTV's 2010 Video Music Awards Nominees

The nominees for MTV's annual Video Music Awards has been released and boy am I a bit shocked. Unsurprisingly, Lady Gaga rules at this year's festivities racking up and impressive 13 nominations while Eminem follows close behind with 8.

B.o.B earned himself 5 nominations, Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' video for "Empire State of Mind" got 3 as well, while Drake and Nicki Minaj received 1 each.

Interestingly enough, Rihanna's colorful video for her song "Rude Boy" only received one nomination and it is for Best Editing. Before I even looked at the list, I thought for sure there would be at least 3 nominations in her name not because 2010 was supposedly her comeback year following her incident but because I actually thought the video for "Rude Boy" would be awarded for its creativity *shrugs.*

I was also shocked to see that the Black Eyed Peas didn't get any nominations for their double videos for their song "Imma Be" and "Rock That Body."
