Lady GaGa dominates this year's nominations list of 2010 MTV Video Music Awards. The "Poker Face" hitmaker is vying in 13 categories, including the top honor Video of the Year. This makes her break the MTV record by becoming the singer with the most nominations in a single year.

Calling the event Video Monster Awards, GaGa tweeted after learning her domination, "13 VMA noms lilmonsters. Breakin records+breakin rules. I love you, you Bad Kids are a part of me. PAWS UP!" She additionally issued a statement, "I'm so honored 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 number: 13. A long time ago, the world told me and my little monsters we would never be heard. Together we changed the rules. God put me on Earth for three reasons: to make loud music, gay videos and cause a damn raucous. Thank you, MTV!"

Following GaGa's domination is Eminem. The rap mogul scores eight nods, including Video of the Year where he is facing off GaGa, Florence and the Machine, B.o.B and 30 Seconds to Mars. Commenting on his multiple bids which are topped by GaGa, he jokingly said, "Apparently, MTV doesn't care that I have two massive stadium shows on the other side of the country the day after the VMAs. F me, right?!?! I mean, I'll be there, but don't expect me to be nice about it."

The other musicians who have more than one chance to win a coveted trophy at the prize-giving event include Beyonce Knowles, Jay-Z, Katy Perry, Usher, Drake, Jason Derulo, Muse, Pink and Ke$ha. The award which will be given to this year's best newcomer is to be handed either to Ke$ha, Derulo, Nicki Minaj, Broken Bells or Justin Bieber.

This show hasn't been relevant in years. I don't know why a network that barely shows music videos anymore has an award show devoted to them. :unsure:

Sad thing is, once upon a time, in the 80s to the mid-90s, this show used to be an event for young people, not so much anymore.

Good exposure for Florence and the Machine though.

VEVO/YouTube is the platform really where awards celebrating music videos should be hosted.... that's where I watch my videos now.

Really? My Facebook feed blows up like an atomic bomb when the VMAs air, and most of my friends are between the ages of 18 and 25.

There really is no need for a music video TV channel anymore, especially one targeted at teens and twentysomethings. YouTube's taken over the market completely, but MTV.com is still filled to the gills with music and music-related content. Most people young people wouldn't sit in front of the computer to watch an entire awards show, so airing them on MTV is perfect.

If MTV and Vevo joined together, there'd be assloads of cash to be made.

It seems like over the past 10 or so years, the only time people talk about it is if some crap like Taylor/Kanye happens or Britney's craptastic performance from 2006. There was a time music videos had more pop cultural impact or the actual performances at the award show itself, which really isn't the case anymore. I guess the music industry itself is partly to blame for that too.

Even before the advent of YoutTube and streaming videos online, MTV/VH1 gave up years ago. :lol:

When is the cutoff date for video eligiblity? I find it hard to believe that Eminem's just happens to be nominated when his crap came out not more then two or three months ago when I'm sure other male artist's had better video's. It would be nice if they didn't keep nominating so many rap/r & b videos.

Lady Gaga's videos are very interesting and are always talked about. They aren't very good but at least they illicit some sort of reaction. It's a step in the right direction.. I just wish they could go back to the way video's were made in the 80's and 90's.. where there was a storyline to the video (i.e. a mini movie musical).

I have to disagree, I thought Chelsea did an amazing job hosting!! She was hilarious! I was SHOCKED at the beginning, with that part with her and Lindsay Lohan Out of everyone Chelsea makes fun of, Lindsay takes the cake as the one Chelsea does it to the most!! And she is HARSH, lol...so I found it very surprising to see those two interacting, and in such a nice way. That part was so funny.

Kanye West's new song, WTF?? Who would listen to that?? JMO, but I thought it sucked.

Love Lady Gaga and I was so happy with all of her wins. Her outfits never fail to surprise, WOW @ that first dress she was wearing! And those shoes! I love her anyways, all of her speeches were beautiful, especially when she won video of the year. I can't wait to hear her new song.

In my opinion, he's in over his head. Young and Restless has more stellar actors and divas..
He's more suited for the fraternity house of days.
Cane is also an awful character. Chad was more in his lane.

David Hamilton looks like a poor man's Robert Reed with that 70's blow dry perm. Did David and Laura have love scenes? Ick !!! if they did. I like this original (Michael Gregory) version of Rick better than Chris Robinson's version. I recently read Gregory quit the show after the 1hour expansion. I always assumed Monty replaced him.
Robinson always comes across as skeevy and having read a bit about him offscreen it fits. I seem to remember comments that Charleson and Alexander didn't like working with. I could picture someone like Chad Everett playing a recast Rick at that time.

Why they still throw every man that comes on the show (even younger ones) at Phyllis for a romp I don't know. I can always set my watch to it if they're not related. It's a matter of time before she beds one of the Noahs someday. (She hasn't, right?)
This isn't 20 years ago and Stafford isn't Vanessa Marcil.

To this day, the reveal feels very anticlimactic to me. Here, we have a whodunnit that literally had the entire nation - if not the entire globe - in its' grip, and she's the one who turns out to be the culprit?

As The World Turns Discussion Thread

Well, it's been a long time since the entire story unfolded, and I still can't recall or make sense of all the twists and turns...sigh...but I'll try, lol.
Basically, Rosanna, who is married to Craig at this point, wants a baby. Craig, however, doesn't want a baby - I guess, because he had just lost Bryant? - but to appease his wife, he arranges for an adoption.
Rosanna learns that the adoption (of their son, whom she names "Cabot") was illegal and that she has to give Cabot back to his biological mother, who lives, offscreen, in Canada. Rosanna dumps Craig and leaves Oakdale (and somewhere, in the middle of all this, Rosanna falls in love with Paul Ryan, too).
In the meantime, Rosanna gets back in touch with Cabot's bio mom, who tells her that she could have Cabot back, but only if she convinces Jordan Sinclair to marry her. (Don't ask me why, lol).
So, Rosanna does just that: she cons Jordan into marrying her. It's only AFTER they marry, however, that Jordan learns he is Cabot's biological father. (I think this is also when Jordan learns he, himself, is James Stenbeck's illegitimate son, but I'm not sure).
Rosanna panics when she learns that James is Cabot's paternal grandfather and abducts the baby. James, in turn, abducts Cabot and Rosanna and leaves them to die in a burning building. Someone - Jordan? Paul? - rescues Rosanna, but the baby is presumed dead. Jordan annulls his and Rosanna's marriage and leaves town.
Barbara, who had crossed over to the dark side with James, plots with him to implicate Emily in some bizarre scheme to drive Rosanna crazy with the suggestion that her baby was still alive (which he was, James had rescued Cabot from that fire). Rosanna agrees to dump Paul in exchange for getting Cabot back. Rosanna leaves Oakdale again.
Some time later, though, Craig finds Rosanna (and Cabot) someplace out of the country. Rosanna is devoted to her son, but realizes that she has to give up baby Cabot for adoption again, or else he'll always be in danger of being taken by James Stenbeck...
...which, I think, led us straight into the Jennifer/Gwen baby switch, but whatever. I mean, all that drama over a child that ended up being given away anyway, and a baby drama that led us only to yet another baby drama. No wonder I ended up on antidepressants, lol.

She was born in 2005 so she'd be 20 year old. In soap years, I would keep her at 20. We can't make Erica a great grandmother. It's too soon 😛

A plotline they really should do as some sweeps event at this point. Halloween II's empty hospital will never not creep me out.
I've always said KT is incapable of playing deep nuance or much earnest pathos and recent events have borne that out again.

I still remember the gloriously outspoken HBS letting that info out in an interview. IIRC Nora was at a funeral and she didn’t know who it was that died or why Nora was there. I know it has gotten even harder.
This is kind of a hybrid version of the way that most films work. But the problem is the volume of material and so many stories that they clearly often just cut out the little character bits and details to keep it pumping. And as I said, sometimes it’s more noticeable than others. And it’s a talent schedule thing. Which is also why sometimes they give the lines to a performer tangentially connected to a story because of a schedule issue and they go with who they have. Mostly supporting, not the lead part of the story.
As far as the directing credits go, I have no idea. I know that many of us speculated that several scriptwriters listed per day showed they had to credit from the several scripts they used, not sure what’s up with directing.
On to the actual show. I see a lot of complaints about Dante. He is very hard on Gio. But the son he raised just got charged with felonies and locked up, there was vital information they did not know, and he has the last trauma with his part in Michael going to prison. I also think this is pretty typical soap conflict behavior. Do people watching now really want all these characters to be perfect and never have conflict? For GH this part of the story is mostly about actual human feelings, although heightened for soaps. It’s how I feel about Drew too. We need conflict in this show! There was a several year period recently where everything was generic and genial and boring- I don’t want to go back to that.
And people can miss me with Britt defending. She’s up to her eyeballs in something shady and she isn’t capable of playing any layers that make it seem like her hand is truly forced. Yes her medication. But that scene with Emma was ridiculous because poor Britt.
Also- all those extras for a debate and voting booths, and the hospital is practically abandoned. There was more staff in the Haddonfield Clinic in Halloween 2 than GH these days.

Today on the The Young and the Recurring...
The opening credits featuring Lauralee, Beth, Tracey etc
It says something when the guest list was basically recurring players. To think that might be the last time we see Tricia. But she nailed it giving Cane what he deserved. Just wish she's go with a more flattering hair color-that dark brown is too harsh.
Patty/Gina still looks good.
Why was Diane there? A throwback to her and Cricket being Jabot models?
Phyllis was even more intolerable than usual-she just comes across as pathetic. And poor Billy Flynn looking like 'this isn't what I signed up for'
No Lucy-is the actress unavailable?
