Green Day received eight nominations, and Bono and U2 got five. The Game, 50 Cent, Common, Alicia Keys, Amerie and The Ying Yang Twins were also nominated for awards.
The 22nd annual awards show will be hosted by Sean "P. Diddy" Combs on August 28, which comes at the height of Miami's hurricane season. Diddy promises that the show will include scene-stealing stunts like in the past. "I'm going to tell the artists that if you want to get naked and run across the stage, go ahead and do it," P. Diddy said.
