Coldplay nominated for Much Music Video Award

Coldplay's video for Viva La Vida is officially in the running for a Much Music Video award on 21st June. Coldplay will be in Canada but will be performing the second night in Vancouver on that day. Here is Anchorman with the latest nomination details:

The nominations for this year's Much Music Video Awards were announced this evening and we're pleased to report that Viva La Vida has been nominated in the International Video of the Year - Group category. The MMVAs take place live in Toronto, Canada on Sunday, June 21st.

In the international categories, the usual chart-toppers were recognized, with nominees including as we know, Coldplay, but also Britney Spears, Beyonce, Green Day and Lil' Wayne. Fans can also look forward to a live performance by Lady Gaga, with more performers to be announced in the weeks to come. The awards show will air on June 21st, and all three (!) Jonas Brothers will host what is sure to be a glitzy, star-studded production – in a downtown Toronto sort of way.

If you're a MuchMusic superfan, you'll get a chance in June to lineup and receive your wristband pass to the show. It gives you access to the standing-room-only pit directly in front of the stage, from which vantage point there is a significant chance of hand-to- hand contact with a Jonas, or perhaps his airborn sweat towel. The wristbands are free, but you'll probably have to line up for a day or two, though which day has yet to be announced.
