The 2009 Video Music Award nominees have been announced and nobody cares yet again. Well, except for one small detail.
Among the non-musical riff raff and general category fuckery (“Best Video That Should Have Won A Moonman” featuring nominees Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers and George Michael?), one heaven-sent ray of sunlight shines through: SEVEN nominations for Queen B, including Video of the Year, Best Pop Video, Best Choreography, Best Direction, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, and Best Art Direction.
While I don’t think she’ll take the grand prize (look for our other Queen B, Beysus to snag that one), she’s bound to win a few–especially the ones with “Circus” as a nominee.
Oh yeah, and don’t count on an appearance this year kiddos–she’s going to be touring in between the show’s air date. Then again, there is a brief two or three day break in between…oh, who are we kidding? She isn’t going to perform.
Though she should.
