The 2019 MTV EMAs is almost here!
This time around, the award show will be taking place at the FIBES, Conference & Exhibition Centre of Seville, Spain on 3rd November (4th November in Malaysian time) and the list of nominees is super impressive and competition is definitely tight this year!
The 26th edition of the MTV EMAs will be broadcasted LIVE on MTV Asia, channel 713, and on Astro Go, starting with the red carpet at 4am and the main award show at 5am.
Of course, there’ll be a prime time encore telecast on the same day at 8pm (red carpet) and 8.50pm. So if you need your sleep, you can still catch the award show later in the day on 4th November!
This year, Ariana Grande is in the lead with the highest number of nominations with seven nominations. The singer is followed closely by Shawn Mendes and first time contenders, Lil Nas X and Billie Eilish, who all have six nominations each this year.
Our very own Malaysian songbird, Yuna has also made it as a nominee this year in the “Best Southeast Asia Act” category and we’re crossing our fingers and toes that she’ll take home the award!
In case you’ve missed the nominees announcement for the award show this weekend, we’ve gotchu! Here’s the full list of nominees!
