We've known for a long time that the VMAs just rewards popular songs, this is nothing new.

Applause was a pretty decent hit

So next year it's gonna be another Bey-dominated year with "Mine" and other flawless videos still to be released. The meltdowns will continue in 2015.

nnn She has to release Mine and Flawless (actually any video) and she's gonna sweep again.

I'm pressed tbh
Roar and Unconditionally deserved nominations

Pretty Hurts was nominated 4 times, what are you talking about? It flopped massively and it's still a great video.

What about Hip Hop and R&B categories?

But the Gaga snub is a bit much. G.U.Y. should have gotten at least 2 technical award nominations.

Apparently MTV forgot about the V in VMAs.

Royals for Best Rock Video

[OreGuy]

Well VMA knew that Gaga will not gonna attend this year so they paid her dust. And let's see what this year's rating would be? #NoGagaNoVMA

[iHype.]

Applause was 1 year ago. It's forgotten by now, like 'Roar' which has 0 noms.

It didn't make a big enough impact to gather nom(s) a year later, ala 'Wrecking Ball' to where they couldn't snub it.

No Best Dance Video or Best Group Video.

[Rusty]

Michael slaying with a nomination I see.

[Person]

I hope Bey and Jay back off in the collab category and let Ari win it while they run off with the VOTY trophy.

They nominated pretty hurts which went no where your statement is false.
