GREEN DAY MAJÍ NEJVÍC NOMINACÍ NA MTV AWARDS

MTV oznámila nominace a moderátora již 22. udílení výročních cen MTV Video Music Awards (VMA). Nejstarší ceny MTV, zaměřené především na americkou scénu, budou předány v neděli 28. srpna v Miami na Floridě (místního času).

MTV Europe odvysílá přímý přenos ceremoniálu v noci z neděle 28. srpna na pondělí 29. srpna ve 2 hodiny ráno našeho času.

Nejžhavějšími kandidáty na některé z cen jsou Green Day, kterým se podařilo získat celkem 8 nominací (6 za "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" a 2 za "American Idiot"). Vyrovnaný je souboj mezi Gwen Stefani a Missy Elliott (každá má po 6 nominacích) a teprve za nimi je první zástupce evropské scény - irští U2.

Nelehkého úkolu baviče a moderátora letošních VMA se ujala Diddy. Společným tématem scénografie amerických cen MTV je voda. Producenti show slibují, že diváci uvidí nejmasivnější a nejpropracovanější vodní efekty v historii. Hvězdám byl pro příjezd do American Airlines Arény, kde se bude akce konat, vybrán netradiční dopravní prostředek - jachty. Místo toho, aby na červeném koberci předváděly ladnou chůzi a skvělou róbu, letos budou předvádět svá auta.

Pro úplnost dodáváme, že MTV Europe Music Awards se uskuteční 3. listopadu v portugalském Lisabonu.
