2006 MTV nominees and performances

And the nominees are in! The list of nominees for the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards includes a familiar mix of hip-shakers, funky Californians, ambitious blondes ” and one group of tight-trousered gatecrashers.

Hip-shaker Shakira and the rejuvenated Red Hot Chili Peppers lead the field with seven noms each, followed closely by the majestic Madonna and upstart Las Vegas rockers Panic! at the Disco, both with five nods. Christina Aguilera is next with four.

Videos from all five artists ” Shakira’s “Hips Don’t Lie,” the Chili Peppers’ “Dani California,” Madonna’s “Hung Up,” Panic’s “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” and Aguilera’s “Ain’t No Other Man” ” will go head-to-head for the coveted Video of the Year Moonman at the 2006 VMAs, which will air live from New York’s Radio City Music Hall on August 31.

Panic! are also one of the first artists confirmed to perform on the show, joining an all-star cast that also includes Justin Timberlake, Beyoncé, T.I., Ludacris and the Killers.

Shakira’s “Hips” scored nominations for Best Female Video (where it also faces off against Aguilera and Madonna, as well as Kelly Clarkson’s “Because of You” and Nelly Furtado’s “Promiscuous”), Best Dance Video, Best Pop Video and the Viewer’s Choice Award, plus a pair of technical nods ” for Choreography and Art Direction ” along with its Video of the Year nom.

In addition to their Video of the Year nom, the Chili Peppers’ “Dani California” is up for Best Group Video and Best Rock Video (it also landed a host of technical nominations, for Direction, Editing, Cinematography and Art Direction).

VMA vet Madonna is up for Best Female Video, Dance Video, Pop Video and Choreography, while Panic! at the Disco ” who less than two years ago weren’t even a band ” saw their “Sins” clip nominated for Best Rock Video, Best Group Video and Best New Artist (going up against Angels & Airwaves’ “The Adventure,” Avenged Sevenfold’s “Bat Country,” Rihanna’s “S.O.S.,” Chris Brown’s “Run It!” and James Blunt’s “You’re Beautiful”), plus an Art Direction nom.

Aguilera’s four nominations include nods for Video of the Year and Best Female Video, while a gaggle of artists ” including AFI, Chris Brown and Gnarls Barkley ” locked up three nominations a piece. Fall Out Boy, Kanye West, Rihanna and the Pussycat Dolls each scored two noms.

For the first time in VMA history, viewers will be able to vote for their favorites in all categories (not just Viewer’s Choice).

In addition, this year there will be two new categories for the online gaming community to vote on, through Gametrailers.com and Xfire: Best Video Game Soundtrack and Best Video Game Score. Winners will be announced live on vma.mtv.com on August 31 during the MTV Overdrive broadcast.

Catch all the star-packed VMA action direct from New York on August 31. MTV News’ preshow kicks things off at 6:30 p.m. ET/PT, followed by the big show at 8 p.m.

    Justin and Beyonce vids came out too late it missed the cut off. Christina did not miss the cut off date.

  5. Nikki
    July 31st, 2006 | 1:55 pm

    Ain’t No other man has been critically acclaimed too.

  6. Keyshia
    July 31st, 2006 | 2:07 pm

    Sit y’all asses down Christina’s video was out before Justin’s and Beyonce. They did not cheat this year for Beyonce like they did in 2003 her vid missed the cutoff date but it was still nominated.

    ANOM the song got rave reviews from the critics.
    So I am not suprised.

    Plus Beyonce fans are petitioning her vid. b/c they don’t like it MTV posted an article about it so I doubt they would’ve nominated it even if it did catch the deadline.

  7. Kelly
    July 31st, 2006 | 2:26 pm

    People LOOOve to complain.

  19. B-Day
    July 31st, 2006 | 3:21 pm

    Lmao at ya’ll saying beyonce cheated her way in 2003. Ya’ll sound stupid crazy in love is classic. Christina’s video will lose every award! I hope she never wins a VMA.

  20. Romel
    July 31st, 2006 | 3:25 pm

    Hahaha, its funny all the complaints for Christina. You people are dumb, seriously…Admire the b!tch for atleast taking risks. I will be eating my popcorn and laughing when she wins all the awards shes nominated for. This year, videos suck…no doubt.

    Oh, and the Beyonce fans out there, suck it up. Her new single sucks the balls and its flopping everywhere. Here in Canada when our radiostation played it on its “Pump It or Dump It” it got dumped my 95% of listeners. So get over yourself already.

    Plus all the christina stuff has been critically acclaimed anyway, so its a given she’ll be getting nod, Just you wait to see her shitting Grammys come Feb.

  21. Lisa
    July 31st, 2006 | 3:27 pm

    umm Crazy in Love did not make the cutoff deadline for the 2003 VMA’s so that is cheating and no one said Beyonce did it.

    Like I said Britney Stans grow the hell up.

  22. B-Day
    July 31st, 2006 | 3:29 pm

    1) Christina swears she’s the most talented woman on earth she needs to wake up

    2)Rca had her record a double album why? because when she sells 500,000 it won’t be a flop it will be 1,000,000 platinum for manipulated sales. Shania twain didn’t do this but xtina will cheat.

    3) What was so great about Ain’t No Other Man?? The video was bland deja vu is a masterpiece compared to xtina’s video

    4) There was a reason why she wasn’t on the VIBE cover. Sorry but i hate christina!

  23. -CAMK-
    July 31st, 2006 | 3:33 pm

    Sorry B-Day, but your childish and ignorant. Grow up alittle, why dont you?

  24. Lisa
    July 31st, 2006 | 3:34 pm

    That is why people are petitioning it?RIGHT.
    Outkast had a double album. You act like she was the only one GET A LIFE.
    @pac had a double album.
    Christina or Beyonce is not on my mind all the time but apparently they are for you write a letter to MTV

  41. Allison
    July 31st, 2006 | 4:01 pm

    Who the hell cares who is hood and not hood here? If you guys want to complain about Christina getting nominated and Beyonce not (when she missed the cut-off, I believe, so wtf is the problem) then that’s fine. But who cares if someone’s ghetto and someone’s whitebread? GET OVER IT. It’s the fucking internet.

  42. Brit Brit
    July 31st, 2006 | 4:05 pm

    I’ve watched Christina since she came out and she is one big contradicition. Honestly she doesn’t know who she wants to be. One minute she’s black and next thing she’s white. When she first started she was white and when stripped came out she was O so latin and black. She’s such a fluezy. The fakest in the industry. I hope she flops.

  43. Edu
    July 31st, 2006 | 4:13 pm

    I’m so happy for Christina. Her song is pure fun, it’s sassy and I love the video. It’s not great but it goes with the flow of the song, and I loved the homage do Bettie Page and Marilyn and Veronica Lake.

    I can’t believe Hung Up got so many nods. That was a weak video. Miss M can do so much better, I love her but this video is shitty. Sorry was a better video even.

  44. moonboy
    July 31st, 2006 | 4:14 pm

    biatches need ur faces slapped…compared to the other videos on that list christina’s is the best….even if ya dun like that bitch u gotta’ admit that…screw beyoncé and britney…they aint on the liust so get over it…

    even tho christina didn’t really dance that much she did have dancers so i guess that is what the choreography one is for…

    shut up…get a life…and kiss my arse!

    Don’t forget about this: Is CHRISTINA AGUILERA, she got 4 Grammys, she got one of the most powerful voices on the planet, she can dance, she’s beautiful and down on earth, and OF COURSE, is her COMEBACK! for god’s sake, It’s obvious that Christina have to have that kind of nods.

    Beyoncé who? Justin what? Yeah, right, they’re just crap and if you don’t believe GO and hear the new sh1tt of justin or see the “video” of beyoncé! then you can realize why those “bitches” did’t get ANYTHING.

    Again! IT’S CHRISTINA AGUILERA. (Mtv is serious and gives awards to people really talented).
