The 2024 edition of the MTV EMAs awards ceremony will be hosted in Manchester on Sunday, November 10, and will be available to watch live on MTV UK, Channel 5, and Pluto TV and stream on-demand via Paramount+ from November 12.

Last year’s MTV EMAs saw Taylor Swift win three awards: Best Artiste, Best Live, and Best Video (‘Anti-Hero’), while Jungkook, Måneskin, and Nicki Minaj each won two awards.

This year’s edition will mark 30 years of the awards ceremony.

Taylor Swift leads the nominations for the second year running, earning seven nods overall, including Best Artiste, Best Collaboration (‘Fortnight’ feat. Post Malone), Best Pop, and Biggest Fans.

She is followed by Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, Lisa, and Ayra Starr, all of whom are in the running for four awards.

Voting was open from October 8 and is set to close at midnight on November 6th. Fans can vote for their favorite artists across all categories on the EMAs website. 

Except for the Best Video award, which will be chosen by MTV, viewers from 23 regions around the world can vote for their favorite artistes in the Best Regional Act categories.
