I wish Ellie got an award for Lights, maybe an award of something technical like Lana Del Rey's

I'm sorry I would rather have a music video that isn't filled with cheesy shots win VOTY. Wide Awake looks like it was made by Disney. Katy alone has had better videos than WA this year.

Rihanna, Demi, and Regina! 
LYLALS is not the best choice but w/e |
Dark Side did get nominated though, for Best Video with a Message, Stronger should've got that though.

And dead at her "flop single" being nominated in best Female. That baby bump solidified its spot. |

Gaga not being nominated isn't a surprised. She set the standard really high with her videos early on in her career but now she's just giving us lackluster ones.

Katy Perry shall win VIDEO OF THE YEAR.
Rihanna shall win FEMALE VIDEO.
^ only cuz' wide awake is more new and fresher in ppl's brains, while as much as i love WFL it has gotten old but it has aged beautifully though.

Wide Awake deserves to win. Although I don't think they'll let Katy win the VOTY twice straight. 
Who are the confirmed performers now? Can we please add it the OP? Thanks!

Confirmed performers so far are One Direction and Alicia Keys.
I'm sure there'll be more though.

I'm confused on how this works as well, if you're in VOTY than means you're in the top 5 videos, shouldn't a nom be on lock for male and female categories?
