Rihanna, Drake Top MTV Video Music Award Nominations


Rihanna performs at the Hackney Weekend festival at Hackney Marshes in east London, June 24, 2012.

NEW YORK, August 1( Reuters) - Rihanna's dizzying visual romp in the video for her hit "We Found Love" was also nominated for video of the year, along with Katy Perry's "Wide Awake", Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know" and M.I.A. for "Bad Girls."

Perry received four nominations, second overall to Drake and Rihanna, including best female video for her inspirational anthem "Part of Me," which also is the name of her 3-D concert film that debuted earlier this month.

The awards, which will feature Alicia Keys premiering a new song from her upcoming album and a performance by British boy band One Direction, will be handed out during a televised show in Los Angeles on Sept 6. Winners are picked by public voting.

Nominees for best new artist include Fun. featuring Janelle Monae for "We Are Young," Carly Rae Jepsen for "Call Me Maybe" and Frank Ocean for "Swim Good."

Joining Drake and Frank Ocean in the best male video category are Justin Bieber for "Boyfriend", Chris Brown for "Turn Up the Music" and Usher for "Climax".

Along with Rihanna and Perry, best female pop video nods also went to Beyoncé for "Love on Top," Nicki Minaj for "Starships" and Selena Gomez & The Scene for "Love You Like a Love Song".

And in a sign of dance music's growing popularity in the United States, a new category for best electronic dance music video has been added this year. That category includes a nomination for Los Angeles DJ Skrillex for "First of the Year (Equinox)."

 
   
  Oz the Great and Powerful  
     
 

Disney's fantastical adventure "Oz The Great and Powerful," directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum's beloved wizard character. When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he's hit the jackpot-fame and fortune are his for the taking-that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone's been expecting.

  Identity Thief  
     
 

Unlimited funds have allowed Diana (McCarthy) to live it up on the outskirts of Miami, where the queen of retail buys whatever strikes her fancy. There's only one glitch: The ID she's using to finance these sprees reads "Sandy Bigelow Patterson"....and it belongs to an accounts rep (Bateman) who lives halfway across the U.S. With only one week to hunt down the con artist before his world implodes, the real Sandy Bigelow Patterson heads south to confront the woman with an all-access pass to his life. And as he attempts to bribe, coax and wrangle her the 2,000 miles to Denver, one easy target will discover just how tough it is to get your name back.

Cast: Jason Bateman, Melissa McCarthy, Amanda Peet
