The MuchMusic Video Awards Tonight

Tonight the MuchMusic Video Awards will be shutting down the corner of Toronto's Queen and John, airing live at 9 p.m. ET and MuchMusic will try to offer their audience an experience to remember; whether it's by attending the show in person, watching it at home in comfort on a television, or on a computer, or even on the go by using your mobile phone.

This year's big surprise was the announcement of adding pop starts "The Jonans Brother's" as co-host to the show; the move demonstrates serious growth as this will be the MMVA's first celebrate co-hosting.

The 2009 MMVA's include performances by American Idol Star Kelly Clarkson, Queen of Strange electro pop star Lady Gaga, the very successful Black Eyed Peas, MMVA studs Billy Talent, Alexisonfire, Canadian rapper Classified, and Shiloh. Celebrity presenters include "Twilight's" stars Taylor Lautner and Rachelle Lefevre, gossip blogger Perez Hilton, "The Hills'" Audrina Patridge, Rumer Willis and the very sexy Kim Kardashian.



Super band Nickeback and Torontonian R&B sensation Danny Fernandez both lead nominations with five each but closely followed by Vancouver pop band Marianas Trench who has respectable four nominations.
