MuchMusic Video Awards 2014: Drake, Hedley Lead Nominations; Pharrell Nominated for First Time
We're a little less than month away from seeing how Kendall and Kylie Jenner do as hosts of the MuchMusic Video Awards. In the meantime, we have the nominations to hold us over.
Drake and Hedley top the nominations as the two are up for six awards, said the Hollywood Reporter. The two will face off in three categories: favorite artist/group, best video and best director. Audiences can only vote on the favorite artist/group category, as the other two awards are chosen by a group.
SonReal is nominated for five awards, and Arcade Fire and The Weeknd are both nominated for four. Imagine Dragons and Lorde, who are each nominated for two awards, are also set to perform.
Pharrell Williams, 5 Seconds of Summer, July Talk, Keys N Krates and MAGIC! are first-time nominees.
The Jenner sisters were announced as the hosts of the upcoming award show earlier in the month. At the Billboard Music Awards, older sister Kendall Jenner messed up when trying to introduce performers 5 Seconds of Summer. It appeared as though she almost called the Australian band One Direction by mistake. She blamed it on not being great at reading.
The MuchMusic Video Awards started in 1990, and it honors Canada's best music videos. Billy Talent is the most nominated and awarded band in the history of the MuchMusic Video Awards.
This year the show will take place on June 15 at 9 p.m. ET.
