The iHeartRadio MMVAs are coming - and with the announcement of the 2018 nominees, it's time to get a little bit more excited.
This year's nominees come from all genres, all over the world, and represent popular music in the long tradition of the MMVAs. And while it's great to see representation from all over... it's awesome to see Shawn Mendes leading the way with 7 nominations (plus a nomination for director Jay Martin for the In My Blood music video). High fives also go to Canadians Alessia Cara and Drake for their five nominations.
The 2018 iHeartRadio MMVAs will be hosted by Awkawfina on Sunday, August 26, live on CTV. Fans on location in Toronto and watching on TV will see performances by Mendes, Alessia Cara, Meghan Trainor, Halsey, 5 Seconds Of Summer, Kris Wu, and Marshmello ft. Anne-Marie.
With that list of talent on stage, plus the nominees and presenters in attendance, the 2018 MMVAs are going to be hot.
Check out the full list of nominees, vote your favourites in the Fan Favourite categories, and get ready for the big show!
