Hey babies, pull your heads out of each other's mouths and put your Galaxy S5s where I can see them, we have some important news to share: MTV has announced the nominees for the 2014 Video Music Awards!

First things first, MTV has made the baffling decision to put on yet another year of the Video Music Awards. "Hmm. That doesn't seem right. Are you sure?" Yes, I am! For proof, let's move on to the second thing. It was announced yesterday that MTV would unveil their VMA nominees this morning via the teen-to-teen sext app Snapchat. From Mashable:

The nominations will appear in eight 10-second Snapchat videos starting at 9 a.m ET on Thursday, MTV told Mashable. They will feature Austin Mahone, Fifth Harmony and Becky G as well as stars from MTV shows in order to leverage their enormous fan bases.

"They'll feature Jesse L, To the Top, Purple O's, The Dynamite Boys, Greg R, Sarah P, and Nickelodeon's Jessica." (Not true.) In case you didn't catch all the Snaps, here is the full list of nominees, presented by Taco Bell:
