The nominations for the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards are in. Rihanna and Drake lead the pack with five nods a piece. The show will take place this year on a Thursday night, in a bigger venue from last year – LA’s Staples Center.

Ology.com Senior Editor Terron Moore wasn’t suprised with the nominations, and found the show’s movement from a Sunday to Thursday curious. One Direction and Alicia Keys were announced as performers for the ceremony, set for September 6 at 8 PM EST.
