Beyoncé, Kings of Leon, and Shakira have each scooped up multiple nominations for MTV’s European Music Awards, which will be held in Berlin on Nov. 5 and feature performances by Green Day, X Factor-winning warbler Leona Lewis, and “popular on the Internet” mope-rock act Tokio Hotel. The winners in most of the categories—save Best Video Of The Year, which inexplicably includes Eminem’s stale-on-arrival “We Made You” as the lone male-fronted video in its ranks—will be determined by fan voting, which probably explains the Jonas Brothers vs. Tokio Hotel matchup in the “Best Group” category. (Gimme an S! Gimme an E! Gimme an O!) Full list of non-regional nominations after the jump.
