MTV VMA Nominations

Roll down the partition, please. We need you to see Beyoncé ruling all nominees.



Beyoncé has earned eight nominations for this year's MTV Video Music Awards, leading the pack with three videos that were released on the same day in December as part of her self-titled surprise album. Her videos for "Pretty" Hurts," "Partition" and "Drunk in Love" (featuring Jay Z) all snagged nominations, with the latter vying for Video of the Year.



On her tail, Iggy Azalea and Eminem each notched seven nominations — some for Iggy's Clueless-themed "Fancy" and Eminem's "The Monster" collaboration with Rihanna.



MTV unveiled the nominees Thursday via eight 10-second Snapchat videos before revealing them elsewhere. You can vote for some of the categories online at MTV.com.



The VMAs will air live on Aug. 24 from inside the Forum in Inglewood, California.
