HERE ARE MTV'S VMA NOMS FOR YOU TO MOON OVER

Kendrick Lamar, Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow have snagged seven nominations apiece for next month’s MTV Video Music Awards, while Harry Styles and Doja Cat have earned six each. The five-noms club boasts Billie Eilish, Drake, Dua Lipa, Taylor Swift, The Weeknd and Ed Sheeran. We’re including just a few of the many categories below, but you can go here to see the complete list. Also, we’re not including the category sponsors, because they ain’t paying us.

Pro tip from Bruce Gillmer: If you do cosplay as a Moonman, watch out for the zero-gravity head-butt.
