Kendrick Lamar sleept meeste nominaties binnen voor MTV Video Music Awards

Genderneutraal

Dit jaar worden de categorieën van Best Female Video en Best Male Video samengevoegd. Op die manier wil MTV richting een genderneutrale awardshow gaan. Eerder gebeurde dit ook al bij de MTV Movie & TV Awards, waarbij er één award werd uitgereikt voor beste acteur (m/v). Er is dit jaar ook een nieuwe categorie bijgekomen, namelijk Best Fight Against the System. Hierbij wordt gekeken naar belangrijke politieke statements in songs, op vlak van bijvoorbeeld immigratie, milieu of racisme.
