So the MTV Video Music Awards are celebrating 30 years this Sunday, August 25. This is no small feat, since the VMAs are the only music-related show MTV plays anymore (TRL closed down in 2007). As always, there will be alot to look forward to: Lady Gaga opening the show (!!!), Katy Perry closing the show (!!!), other performances include Miley Cyrus, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Justin Timberlake, Robin Thicke, and Bruno Mars (!!!). The show is rumored to be hostless like it was in 2011 (Kevin Hart kept things going, so this year won't be affected either). Presenters include (but are not limited to): A$AP Rocky, Selena Gomez, Emeli Sande, Kevin Hart, Jared Leto, Taylor Swift, and Jimmy Fallon. But enough about the "details", who should win their respective categories? This is only my opinion, so I realize yours will differ, such is life! So without any further adieu:
