Lady Gaga, Eminem Dominate 2010 MTV Video Music Awards Nominations

The pop star’s "Bad Romance" video is up for video of the year, best pop video, best female video and best dance video, among other categories.

"I’m so honored for all the little monsters and self-professed freaks of the universe, to have more VMA nominations in a single year than any artist in MTV history," said Gaga. "Ironically, I’m even more proud it’s an unlucky number; 13."

She added: "A long time ago the world told me and my little monsters we would never be heard, together we changed the rules. God put me on Earth for 3 reasons: To make loud music, gay videos, and cause a damn raucous. Thank You MTV!"

Fresh off the success of his latest album, Eminem led all male artists with eight nominations, including best male video and video of the year for "Not Afraid." However, the controversial was none to pleased with the timing of this year’s awards, which take place next month.

"Apparently MTV doesn’t care that I have two massive stadium shows on the other side of the country the day after the VMA’s. F me, right?!?!," said Eminem. "I mean, I’ll be there but don’t expect me to be nice about it."

Up-and-coming rapper B.o.B picked up an impressive five nominations, while fellow newcomer Ke$ha is up for three Moonmen for "Tik Tok."

Other artists receiving first time VMA nominations are Justin Bieber for best new artist for his hit single "Baby," indie favorite Florence + The Machine with five noms for "Dog Days Are Over," and Jason Derulo for "In My Head." In addition, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, P!nk, 30 Seconds To Mars, Katy Perry and Usher are also nominated for Moonmen this year.

The 2010 MTV Video Music Awards will air live Sept. 12 at 9 p.m. EST.
