One of the most eclectic collections of music videos is up for judgment at this year's MTV Video Music Awards.
Lady Gaga is definitely a favourite, both among her fans and at UK betting sites.
A record 13 nominations were offered for Lady Gaga's Bad Romance music video, and bookie sites are offering odds of 11/10 that this video will win the MTV VMA's.
Other musicians were also recognized in the nomination process, including Eminem, Katy Perry, Florence and the Machine and Ke$ha.
Eminem didn't seem to like the fact that MTV scheduled the awards on the eve of the start of his concert tour.
"Apparently, MTV doesn't care that I have two massive stadium shows on the other side of the country the day after the VMA's," posted an angry Eminem in a statement. "F me, right?!?!?!"
"I mean, I'll be there, but don't expect me to be nice about it," he added.
Lady Gaga was thrilled about the number of nominations and said: "I'm so honoured 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 13," she quipped.
