MTV announced Thursday that Beyonce is up for eight moonman trophies, including video of the year for "Drunk in Love." Iggy Azalea and Eminem are nominated for seven awards each.

Pharrell is the only male nominated for the top prize. Along with Beyonce, his "Happy" will compete with Azalea's "Fancy," Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" and Sia's "Chandelier" for video of the year.

Beyonce's "Partition" is nominated for best female video and cinematography, while the Jay Z-featured "Drunk in Love" is up for best collaboration. Both songs are from Beyonce's self-titled fifth album, which she released in surprise form last year with all of the tracks' music videos.

"This album was a labor of love and she had such a vision of wanting to be able to tell the story of this album visually as well as audio," said Lee Anne Callahan-Longo, general manager of Beyonce's production house, Parkwood Entertainment. "She really, really set out to do something special in a visual medium."

Beyonce's "Pretty Hurts," a video displaying women's body issues and insecurities, is nominated for best direction, editing and video with a social message.

Azalea is still riding high on the success of "Fancy," which spent seven weeks on top of the Billboard charts and is nominated for best pop video and female video. The Australian performer will compete twice in both categories thanks to her other hit, the Ariana Grande smash "Problem." The rapper is not nominated for best hip-hop video, though.

Eminem's seven nominations include the latter and best male video, where he will compete with Pharrell, John Legend, Ed Sheeran and newcomer Sam Smith.

The VMAs will air live Aug. 24 from The Forum in Inglewood, California. Performers will include Grande, Usher and 5 Seconds of Summer.

【新聞快訊】

當(dāng)?shù)貢r(shí)間7月17日，第三十一屆MTV音樂錄影帶大獎(jiǎng)（MTV Video Music Awards）2014提名名單出爐。

天后碧昂絲（Beyoncé）毫無(wú)疑問地成為今年提名名單中的絕對(duì)主角，這位32歲的歌手入圍了年度最佳錄影帶、最佳女歌手錄影帶，最佳舞蹈設(shè)計(jì)等八項(xiàng)大獎(jiǎng)，領(lǐng)跑眾星。其中，她與丈夫Jay-Z共同合作的《Drunk in Love》分別入圍了年度最佳錄影帶和最佳組合兩個(gè)獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)。

說(shuō)唱天王埃米納姆（Eminem）此次重出江湖，一舉拿下包括最佳男歌手錄影帶、最佳嘻哈錄影帶等在內(nèi)的七個(gè)獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)，位居次席。來(lái)自澳大利亞的說(shuō)唱新人Iggy Azalea表現(xiàn)搶眼，同樣收獲了七項(xiàng)提名。年初曾入圍奧斯卡最佳歌曲的法瑞爾·威廉姆斯（Pharrell Williams）的《Happy》收獲了三項(xiàng)提名，而“電臀女王”麥莉·塞勒斯的《Wrecking Ball》入圍了年度最佳錄影帶和最佳導(dǎo)演兩項(xiàng)大獎(jiǎng)。

在“最佳男歌手錄影帶”提名中，英國(guó)新人山姆·史密斯（Sam Smith）的《Stay With Me》驚喜入圍，他也是今年最受關(guān)注藝人獎(jiǎng)的有力爭(zhēng)奪者。此外，Sia和新生代歌手Kiesza的入圍都讓人眼前一亮。新人取得好成績(jī)的同時(shí)，MTV曾經(jīng)的寵兒，去年剛剛推出新專輯的布蘭妮·斯皮爾斯（《Britney Jean》）和Lady Gaga（《ARTPOP》）受到了冷落，今年提名顆粒無(wú)收。

2014 MTV音樂錄影帶大獎(jiǎng)將在當(dāng)?shù)貢r(shí)間8月24日晚9點(diǎn)在洛杉磯英格爾伍德廣場(chǎng)舉行。屆時(shí)，亞瑟小子（User）和五秒盛夏樂隊(duì)（5 Seconds of Summer）將登臺(tái)演出，而各大獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)的歸屬也將在當(dāng)晚揭曉。
