Kendrick Lamar, Jack White + Others Up For MTV Video Music Awards

On Beats 1 Radio this morning (July 21), MTV announced the nominees for the 2015 Video Music Awards, and most of the usual suspects are involved: Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, Ed Sheeran, Beyoncé, and so on. Don't worry: Rock and roll is also well represented, thanks to the likes of Jack White, Hozier, Arctic Monkeys, the Weeknd, Florence + the Machine and others.

While there are a few snubs we're disappointed by, like Tame Impala's "'Cause I'm A Man" and Courtney Barnett's “Pedestrian at Best,” there are more than enough worthy clips up for consideration. The ceremony airs Sunday, Aug. 30, at 9PM ET. Get more details here.

Check out the complete list of nominees below:
