Hung Up on the 2006 MTV VMAs

Earlier today, MTV announced the list of nominees for this year’s MTV Video Music Awards, which will air live from New York's Radio City Music Hall on Thursday, Aug. 31.

Vying for a Moon Man trophy, with a leading seven nominations each, are the videos for Shakira’s “Hips Don’t Lie” and the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Dani California.”

Madonna, who is currently in the middle of her “Confessions Tour” and will probably not attend the ceremony – so don’t expect any shocking performances from her this year – followed closely with five nominations for “Hung Up,” including Best Female Video, Best Pop Video, Best Dance Video, and Best Choreography in a Video.

Las Vegas rockers Panic! At the Disco’s "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" also scored five nods, while "Ain't No Other Man" scored Christina Aguilera four.

These five videos will go head-to-head for the coveted Video of the Year VMA.

Panic! At the Disco, Justin Timberlake, Beyoncé, T.I., Ludacris, and the Killers are already confirmed to perform at the show.

For the first time in VMA history, viewers will be able to vote for their favorites in all categories – not just Viewer's Choice. So, start voting. I don’t have to tell you for whom I’m voting, do I?
