After a decade away, the MTV Video Music Awards are returning to Los Angeles. According to sources involved with the show, the 2008 ceremony will be held on Sunday, Sept. 7, at the Paramount Pictures lot in Hollywood. Expect executive producer Jesse Ignjatovic to make use of many of Paramount's stages, rooftops, and camera-ready city streets for the star-studded show, which will only air once in its original incarnation. The official press release goes out on Monday, with host and artist announcements to come soon after.

For the last 10 years, the VMAs have been somewhat nomadic, taking over Miami for two years (one of which was nearly washed out due to early Hurricane Katrina rains) and trying out Las Vegas in 2007, when the Palms Hotel and Casino played host. There were rumors that this time the awards would be held at the Shrine Auditorium, home to the Emmy Awards, but MTV opted for a bigger and perhaps less predictable space.

L.A. is a good location, lets' just hope that this year's show will be good as well.

Let's see what they do this year! cause last year was the BIGGEST **** EVER!.

Agreed last year's show was a mess ....i'm praying they just do a regular show like the old days.

Nice.

Hopefully they bring back regular pre-2007 categories.

Yes, and it would be nice to see performances on the actual stage lasting more than 15 seconds.

1998 awesome
1999 amazing
2000 greatest of all time
2001 flawless
2002 good
2003 fantastic
2004 terrible
2005 awful
2006 forgettable
2007 disaster


The VMAs are already dead 4 years ago. If they're planning to continue this then they need a complete makeover from the ****** categories, to the show's contents (no Rock The Vote crap/ no Al Gore lectures/ no random Miss USA or Olympics "heroes" / no stupid Reality Show "stars") to the performers list and the stage setup. MORE ENERGY. MORE PEOPLE WE CARE ABOUT. NO UNFUNNY PEOPLE aka Jack Black. And they need to watch re-runs of 2000 & 2003 VMAs and take ****ing notes.

They should just cancel the VMAs, this event will never be good again

2003

Yea .. I PRAY they do.

I hated the catagories last year, they better change it back, but idk it might turn out to be another mess, the VMAs has not been good these past years, but i'll be watching

Maybe it will turn out to be even worse. They might introduce new categories like Most Pimped Out Artist or Blingest Video.

^ I know, every year it get's worse, thats why I don't really care anymore about the VMAs

ALL Awards shows are horrid now

i think LA is good!!! and hopefully this year be way better..... and the nominnes... when?

Hopefully this year it will be better. The hotel concerts last year were horrible and they need to go back to the old format and not have the same people performing year after year.

I just say bring Britney back to perform. Whether it be good or bad, it'll be interesting.

There's only so many live trainwrecks the public can take.

IKR.
