The 2010 VMA nominees have been announced with Lady Gaga receiving 13 nominations, which is a record for the most nominations in a year.

“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,” Gaga said in a statement. “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,” she went on. “God put me on Earth for three reasons: to make loud music, gay videos and cause a damn raucous. Thank you, MTV!”

Eminem received eight nominations, topping the male singer category. The rapper made a statement about his noms saying, “Apparently MTV doesn’t care that I have two massive stadiumshows 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.”
