With the nominations for this year’s MTV VMA’s being announced, tonight show was dedicated to the nominee’s and the playlist consisted of the songs which go along with the video they may win an award for.
Miley Cyrus To Host
Miley is no stranger to the VMA’s, attending since 2008, presenting awards and how can we forget her performance in 2013 with Robin Thicke! But this year she returns as host, so this could be a very entertaining and different award show!
She announced the news in a very Miley Cyrus unique way tweeting a picture of her dressed in a green all in one alien suit with a placard saying on one side ‘MTV won’t let me perform’ and then another picture with a placard saying ‘So I’m hosting this year’s VMAs.’
There is a lot of anticipation around this, what she is going to wear? How much flesh she will show? Will she show us that famous tongue? And if she is going to behave? We will have to wait until Sunday 30th August to find out.
