MMVA 2012 Nominees: Drake, Arcade Fire & More
Big news: The artists nominated for the 2012 MuchMusic Video Awards have been revealed! Hip hop hitmaker Drake and pop music upstart Carly Rae Jepsen are poised for big wins (they have five and four nominations, respectively), with Arcade Fire, Simple Plan and Avril Lavigne also up for awards. But it's Vancouver pop-punk outfit Marianas Trench who lead with an incredible seven nominations. That's five more than Canada's pop culture ambassador/hottest export, Justin Bieber.
The MMVAs are set to take over downtown Toronto on June 17, 9p/8c, and Fuse will be there to broadcast the party as it's happening. That means live performances from SoCal beach babe Katy Perry and wiggle-wiggle pioneers LMFAO, who are also co-hosting the event. Enter Fuse's MMVAs sweepstakes for your chance to see the big show live in Toronto.
