MTV is going gaga for Lady Gaga. The reigning pop queen dominates the nominations for the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards.


Gaga racks up a whopping 13 nods, including Best Pop Video, Best Female Video, and Video of the Year at the 27th annual show. She also claims bragging rights with the most nominations ever in a single VMA, as well as being the first female artist nominated for two different videos in the Video of the Year category for “Bad Romance” and “Telephone” featuring Beyoncé.

“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. Ironically, I’m even more proud it’s an unlucky number; 13,” said Gaga. “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 three reasons: to make loud music, gay videos, and cause a damn raucous. Thank you MTV!”

Eminem follows his labelmate with eight nominations including Best Male Video and Video of the Year for “Not Afraid.” “Apparently MTV doesn’t care that I have two massive stadium shows on the other side of the country the day after the VMAs. F me, right?!?!,” joked Eminem about his co-headlining concerts with Jay-Z. “I mean, I’ll be there but don’t expect me to be nice about it.”

The 2010 MTV Video Music Awards will air live from the Nokia Theater in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday, September 12, at 9 p.m.

It was clearly a big Oscars night for Kathryn Bigelow. Not only did her film The Hurt Lockerwin a slew of prizes, but she also became the first woman to win a Best Director Academy Award -- and she happened to beat out her ex-husband James Cameron and his megamovieAvatar in the process. It was no small feat, but Bigelow didn't gloat at all.

James Cameron and his current wife, Suzy Amis. (Getty)"I think he's an extraordinary filmmaker. I have to say, all the nominees are phenomenal, powerful, talented filmmakers, and what an honor," Bigelow said (via Us magazine). "And for me, how humbling it was for me to be in that company, in that conversation. So I have to say, for me, it's a humbling experience."

She was asked what she'd tell her ex after the show, and her reply was, "You left me speechless."

It seems like there won't be any hard feelings the other way around, either. Before the show started, Cameron said: "She sees my films when I'm writing them and cutting them and vice versa. She saw Avatar five times at different stages and gave notes. So we're actually helping each other!"

Though Bigelow was very modest about her win, she said she hopes she won't be the only female Best Director winner for long. "I hope I'm the first of many," she said. "And, of course, I'd love to just think of myself as a filmmaker, and I long for the day when a modifier can be a moot point. But I'm ever grateful if I can inspire some young, intrepid, tenacious male or female filmmaker and have them feel that the impossible is possible and never give up on your dream."

Sandra Bullock taking the stage to accept the Best Actress award at the Oscars last night was one of the evening's many highlights, thanks to her sincere and heartfelt acceptance speech. The actress dedicated her standout performance in The Blind Side to "the moms who take care of the babies and the children no matter where they come from," all while paying tribute to her own parents and fellow nominees.

Sandra and Jesse partied way past their bedtime last night (Getty)But in typical Bullock fashion, she's not letting any of it get to her head. Sandra told People.com after the ceremony, "I didn't aspire to this. I was in awe of it. I admired it. I got to watch it like everyone else did, or present, but it wasn't something that I said, 'One day when I get the Oscar.'"

But she did, and she quickly won over the audience with a perfect mix of humor and gratitude -- especially her husband of five years, Jesse James, who visibly teared up when his wife walked onstage.

"Did he cry? He doesn't cry," she said. "He had something in his eye. It's very dusty from the dance music. I'd never divulge what Jesse says unless he divulges it first. It's between me and the man."

As for James, he admitted he was "feeling everything" and was incredibly proud of Bullock. He added, "She looks amazing. I like her like this or first thing in the morning, equally as well."

What a guy.
