MTV通过Instagram直播独家公布了2017 MTV音乐录影带大奖(MTV Video Music Awards, 缩写为VMA)的提名名单。肯德里克·拉马尔（KendrickLamar）凭借”HUMBLE”以八项提名领跑，凯蒂·佩里（KatyPerry）和The Weeknd各以五项提名紧随其后。鉴于在2017 MTV电影电视颁奖典礼（MTV Movie & TV Awards）新设置的无性别差异奖项广受好评，2017MTV音乐录影带大奖也宣布将之前的“最佳女歌手录影带”和“最佳男歌手录影带”合并为“最佳年度艺人”。新增的“最佳体制突破奖”用于表彰那些激励人们打破偏见的录影带。2017MTV音乐录影带大奖将于美国东部/西部时间8月27日晚8点在加利福尼亚州的英格尔伍德的”Fabulous”Forum体育馆进行实况直播。
