Yesterday, before the 2011 MTV VMA nominees were announced, we felt we had a pret-ty good idea of who might be included in the list.
Now, the nominees have been announced, and it seems to be all about Katy Perry and Adele this year!
Katy leads the pack with nine nominations, while Adele is NOT far behind with seven noms, including top video of the year.
Congrats to Foster the People for landing two well deserved noms AND to Mumford & Sons for getting a BEST ROCK VIDEO nomination for The Cave!
Check out the full list of nominees AFTER THE JUMP!
