Lady Gaga is leading the pack at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards with a quite ridiculous thirteen nominations. That’s not, as you might think, all of them. However, it is all of the eleven categories in which she’s eligible (three of the nominations are for Best Choreography, if you were wondering). Her closest competitor is Eminem with eight nominations, while Florence & The Machine and BoB have five each, and some other people have some more.
