Problem is both an annoying, overplayed song and the video is awful, but since they're both "Hot" artists they're obviously getting nominated.

Still can't believe G.U.Y. Got completly ignored, even though in my humble opinion, it's one of her best videos to date :/

Yes i'm pressed.

[myOWNtable 182]

"Talk Dirty" by the plagiarism king Jason Derulo?  Wow.

 

And "Problem" is possibly one of the worst music videos ever made. There's no story, no emotion. The camera shots are all awful head-on flat shots of Ariana painfully lip-synching. No depth. No interesting closeups. Poor editing of Ariana's already skinny figure made her look like a skeleton. You shouldn't edit such small people or it won't look right. In addition, no clip in the video lasts for more than about 2.5 seconds. The director needs to be slapped. Sorry for the rant, it's just that so many of the "nominees" are the worst examples of music videos.

 

Sia deserves to win.  

[SlaeUrAnus 14,851]

Yas Sia.

The rest I do not give a toss about.

[HausOfMark 4,141]

excited for the beyonce performance now.

if drunk in love wins video of the year and not wrecking ball...........
