It really is exciting. It truly is an honour just to be nominated!"In related news, Green Day's 21st Century Breakdown and Muse's Uprising have both been nominated in Best Special Effects category, while Uprising is also up for the Best Rock Video gong.The MTV VMAs will take place at the Nokia Theatre in LA on Sunday, September 12.Who do you think is going to win?
