If MTV were still relevant at all, maybe Kanye would have complained that there were a ton of videos (including his own "Heartless") that weren't nominated at all.
For the most part, I didn't see anything new in any of the videos nominated. I didn't keep tally of cliches but the number would be pretty high if I did.
I was glad to hear that MTV brought back the Breakthrough Video of the Year category. It disappeared two years ago I think (when Mutemath should have won for "Typical". Alas, the category didn't make it to air though. If you want two of the best videos by female artists you can look at that category. Here are those two, plus Janelle Monae's "Many Moons".
