Will BookMaker offer a prop on the likelihood that MTV Video Music Awards host Miley Cyrus does something inappropriate? There is only one way to find out: Keep your eyes on the site. And know to bet your money that, yes, she will; or, at the very least, she will try to.
Airing this Sunday at 9 p.m., leading the pack nomination-wise is Taylor Swift, who is up for nine Moonmen. Following Taylor, her pal (or, moreover, one-time collaborator) Ed Sheeranhas six noms and is competing against her for the coveted Video of the Year category. Think there will be any bad blood if Sheeran ekes out the victory? I doubt it. (Both that there would be, or that he'll win.)
Check out the list below:
VIDEO OF THE YEAR
Beyoncé – “7/11?
Ed Sheeran – “Thinking Out Loud”
Taylor Swift ft. Kendrick Lamar – “Bad Blood”
Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars – “Uptown Funk”
Kendrick Lamar – “Alright”
This will either go to Swift or Bruno Mars. Also, will BookMaker have an over/under on the likelihood of Kanye West hopping on stage and snapping the mic out of someone's hands pre-acceptance speech? Again, check back, and also - bet on him doing so. Unless it's Swift.
BEST MALE VIDEO
Ed Sheeran – “Thinking Out Loud”
Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars – “Uptown Funk”
Kendrick Lamar – “Alright”
The Weeknd – “Earned It”
Nick Jonas – “Chains”
I say it's "Uptown Funk" all over again, but with this award ceremony being vote-drive, the possibility of a Jonas upset does exist.
BEST FEMALE VIDEO
Beyoncé – “7/11?
Taylor Swift – “Blank Space”
Nicki Minaj – “Anaconda”
Sia – “Elastic Heart”
Ellie Goulding – “Love Me Like You Do”
This is Swift versus Goulding, plain and simple.
BEST HIP HOP VIDEO
Fetty Wap – “Trap Queen”
Nicki Minaj – “Anaconda”
Kendrick Lamar – “Alright”
Wiz Khalifa ft. Charlie Puth – “See You Again”
Big Sean ft. E-40 – “I Don’t F–k With You”
Trust me on this one: Bet on Wiz.
BEST POP VIDEO
Beyoncé – “7/11?
Ed Sheeran – “Thinking Out Loud”
Taylor Swift – “Blank Space”
Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars – “Uptown Funk”
Maroon 5 – “Sugar”
This may be the tightest race of the evening, with only Beyonce not necessarily looking like a shoo-in. Then again, as I mentioned, this is voter-driven. But the fan fervor is elsewhere in this category. Everywhere else, in fact.
BEST ROCK VIDEO
Hozier – “Take Me To Church”
Fall Out Boy – “Uma Thurman”
Florence + the Machine – “Ship To Wreck”
Walk the Moon – “Shut Up and Dance”
Arctic Monkeys – “Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High?”
Will there be a Hozier upset? I don't think so. Look for Fall Out Boy to make a clumsy acceptance speech.
BEST COLLABORATION
Taylor Swift ft. Kendrick Lamar – “Bad Blood”
Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars – “Uptown Funk”
Wiz Khalifa ft. Charlie Puth – “See You Again”
Ariana Grande & The Weeknd – “Love Me Harder”
Jessie J + Ariana Grande + Nicki Minaj – “Bang Bang”
Aren't you paying attention? Wiz.
ARTIST TO WATCH
Fetty Wap – “Trap Queen”
Vance Joy – “Riptide”
George Ezra – “Budapest”
James Bay – “Hold Back The River”
FKA Twigs – “Pendulum”
This may be the toughest to call. Fetty Wap has the brand new, presently growing fan base; I'd go here. But Ezra has had quite the year on the network.
