In a word, the 32nd Annual MTV Video Music Awards 2015 on Sunday will be all about sizzle. 

How can they not sizzle, given the list of performers and attendees that features Nicki Minaj, Kanye West and Taylor Swift? And, as if that wasn't electric enough, Miley Cyrus will serve as the night's host.

It certainly figures to be a night to remember for Swift, who leads the brigade of this year's potential Moonmen winners with nine nominations. Swift's "Bad Blood" collab, featuring Selena Gomez and Lena Dunham, is up for the coveted Video of the Year Award, along with Ed Sheeran's (six nominations overall) "Thinking Out Loud" and Beyonce's "7/11" (five nominations).

According to CBS, the ever provocative West is slated to receive the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award for his "career-spanning groundbreaking videos, legendary VMA performances and continued impact on music, art, fashion and culture."

Previous landmark recipients have included Jackson, David Bowie, the Beatles and Madonna.

Word is West probably won't be performing, but Minaj, Justin Bieber, Pharrell Williams, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, Demi Lovato, Tori Kelly, The Weekend, ASAP Rocky and Twenty One Pilots are all expected to.

In addition, Nick Jonas is scheduled to take the stage and perform his new single "Levels" during the pre-show festivities. Later in the evening, the world premiere of Swift's "Wildest Dreams" video is slated to take center stage.

The night's star-studded cast of presenters includes Britney Spears, Rebel Wilson, Ice Cube, John Legend, Kylie Jenner, O'Shea Jackson, Jr., Rita Ora, Ne-Yo, Miguel, Emily Ratajkowski, Jussie Smollett and Serayah.

Among the night's most captivating debates has been the question of if Minaj will be able to outdo, or even duplicate, her riveting 2014 performance of her then smash hit "Anaconda."
