The MTV Video Music Awards is always worth bookmarking a night in front of the telly for.

Remember when Miley Cyrus had more than a little fun with a foam finger at the 2013 bash? After keeping a low profile last year, she’s back with a Bang Bang and has been booked to host the show.

More importantly, the nominations have been released…

Kendrick Lamar and Taylor Swift are set to be the big winners at VMAs 2015, as they lead the pack with five nominations a piece.

Kendrick’s nods include Video of the Year (for Alright), Best Male Video and Best Hip Hop Video, while Taylor has been named in four categories, including Best Female Video and Best Pop Video.

The duo’s recent collaboration, Bad Blood, is up for Video of the Year and Best Collaboration.

Swift has also been nominated for five awards in the professional categories, including Best Art Direction and Best Cinematography.

Ed Sheeran is up for three awards, including Video of the Year for Thinking Out Loud.

Mark Ronson, Beyoncé and The Weeknd are among the other nominees that will battle it out for trophies in LA next month…

There’s no doubt Miley, who twerked up against Robin Thicke at the 2013 show, will provide us with some eye-popping entertainment…
