[u2popmofo]

OMG, I tOtalLy didt xpecT GreEn DAy AND KanYe WEst!!!!!!!

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I hope Lindsay wins! AND Gwen for her bananas!

[Jack In The Box]

seriously... Ocean Breathes Salty and Blue Orchid and the only really good videos there

[hippy]

I hate it when U2 is nominated for stuff like this... because I feel compelled to watch... even though I REALLY don't want to!

[martha]

I like any excuse for U2 to be on TV.

At least that lame-ass Nelly/Some Damn Country Singer airplane video wasn't nominated.

[corianderstem]

I hate to say it, but I was seriously underwhelmed by the Vertigo video. Those black things look very dumb.

[HeartlandGirl]

I guess R. Kelly's five-part masterpiece missed the deadline for this year.





















Seriously, that is some shit right there for the most part. Who the hell dropped the ball so badly on the MTV2 nominations? I'll probably watch it, though. There are a few bands I'll definitely be pulling for (U2, Coldplay, My Chemical Romance, Ying Yang Twins, Modest Mouse, The Killers). We'll see what happens.

[U2DMfan]

how did that new Nine Inch Nails video get overlooked?
that video is badass, directed by David Fincher.

of course it just released so, maybe it missed whatever deadline there is. I am sure Trent Reznor is not crying his eyes out over getting overlooked.

Check out that video if you get a chance.

[Popmartijn]

I still don't understand that Breakthrough category. OK, now I see that it is for the artist AND the director, but still... I think the breakthrough for Alex & Martin was Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes, not this video by the world's biggest band.

[Zoomerang96]

lame, predictable, pointless.

may beck win.

[Queen Bee]

I agree. It's one of my least favorite music videos.

[typhoon]

Shits were not given.

Indeed. They should make a special award for this one....

R. Kelly rules!

[shaun vox]

so do you think u2 will win anything? i hope so!

green day will most likely win all



u2 should at least get "BEST GROUP VIDEO!"

[RavenBlue]

Are U2 going to be there? Probably the only way I'll watch these if they are.. if not, I'll read the winners in the paper the next morning

[Numb1075]

i didn't know they still made videos

[Tilli]

Looks mostly dominated by hip-hop and RnB type artists - are the awards always like that? I have never paid any atention to these awrds before to be honest.

Maybe they're waiting for him to release parts 6-11, which will be soon I think.



omg like Go UsHeR!!
