After receiving 6 traditional nomination at the 2024 MTV VMAs, Eminem got two more social nominations: VMAs Most Iconic Performance and Song Of Summer.
Eminem’s legendary performance of “The Real Slim Shady” and “The Way I Am” from the 2000 show is nominated for VMAs Most Iconic Performance. Em began the performance outside Radio City Music Hall and continued as he strode into the theater followed by a hundred Eminem lookalikes. Em is the only male artist that is nominated in this category. Another nomination comes for “Houdini” for Song of Summer.
The voting for Song Of Summer has just been launched and Houdini is losing to Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe”. You can go vote Eminem by clicking this link here or visit MTV’s official Instagram, check their story and vote Eminem there.
The 2024 VMAs return to New York live on the East Coast from UBS Arena on Tuesday, Sept. 10 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. The show will be held just four days shy of the 40th anniversary of the inaugural VMAs at Radio City Music Hall, where Madonna stole the show.
If Eminem wins one award, he will break out of tie with Peter Gabriel as the man with the most VMAs in history. The Rap God also extends his record for most ‘Video of the Year’ nominations in #VMAs history (8). He has yet to receive the Michael Jackson Vanguard Award… Check out the list of nominations for 2024 MTV VMAs below.
