Perhaps because of its street-party venue, or its casual no-host format, the Much Music Video Awards are an awards show that’s highly anticipated every single year. The ceremony showcases the best in music videos that year, and is a chance for fans to watch impromptu, on-the-street interviews with their favorite stars. Fans also vote on many of the categories, making it even more exciting for those watching — and those waiting to hear their name called. Below is a list of the 11 categories included in the MMVAs this year, and the nominees within them.
