Oddly, two of the nominees for best artist are not nominated in their genre categories: Adele is not nominated for best pop, and Beyoncé is not nominated for best R&B.

There are two new categories this year — best longform video and best metaverse performance. While Swift may be the frontrunner for best longform video for “All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version),” there is strong competition, including the star-studded Taylor Hawkins tribute concert in Wembley Stadium in London. The other nominees in the category are Foo Fighters, Rosalía and Stormzy.

This year sees 17 first-time nominees, including Chencho Corleone, Gayle and Stephen Sanchez, each of whom received two nods, as well as Dove Cameron, Doechii, Baby Keem, Kim Petras, Mae Muller, Saucy Santana, Shenseea, Summer Walker and Wet Leg, among others.

The EMAs’ 17 categories are all gender-neutral. Beginning Wednesday (Oct. 12), fans can vote for their favorites at mtvema.com until Nov. 9, at 11:59 p.m. CT.

The MTV EMAs 2022 will take place in Düsseldorf at PSD Bank Dome, marking the show’s sixth time in Germany. Bruce Gillmer and Richard Godfrey are executive producers. Debbie Phillips and Chloe Mason are producers.

The EMAs will broadcast live on MTV in more than 170 countries and on Pluto TV and Comedy Central in Germany on Nov. 13 and will be available on Paramount+ and Pluto TV globally beginning Nov. 14.
