Trophies will be doled out during a live broadcast of the awards show Sept. 6 at Gotham's Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center. U2 and Alicia Keys will perform during the kudocast.

Several other artists earned multiple noms. Earning six were videos for "Lady Marmalade," performed by Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mya and Pink; as well as Missy Elliot's "Get Ur Freak On" and 'N Sync's "Pop."

Beautiful day for U2

Eminem's "Stan" (featuring Dido) took five noms, as did Destiny's Child for "Survivor." U2 also grabbed five, for "Beautiful Day" and "Elevation Remix."
