And Going to Brooklyn for the VMAs Are...

And, hey, speaking of upcoming awards shows, Justin Timberlake and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are leading the pack with six nominations apiece going into the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards.

JT’s “Mirrors” and the rap act’s “Thrift Shop” are up for Video of the Year, opposite Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift, and Robin Thicke.

Pink is also going to the party, having scored three nods, although no of ’em is for “Try.”

The VMAs will air live from Brooklyn on MTV, on Aug. 25.

Btw, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ awesome gay lullaby in rap “Same Love” is up for a new Moonman recognizing artists’ commitment to social change.
