The nominations for the annual UK Music Video Awards have been revealed. Leading the pack is FKA Twigs with Chinese-American director Andrew Thomas Huang, whose video for Cellophane picked up five nominations.
The annual ceremony takes place at the Roundhouse in Chalk Farm on Wednesday October 23 and will be hosted by Bug frontman Adam Buxton.
As well as honouring the best work in music videos, there are also awards at the UKMVAs for live music performance films, with nominations in the shortform category for 5 London-shot films for Kano, Kojey Radical, Mumford & Sons, Tom Walker and Wolf Alice, and 1 Paris-based production for American singer Maggie Rogers. In the concert category, Coldplay, Justice, Kylie and Paul Weller all win places in the shortlist.
Speaking about this year’s nominations, UK Music Video Awards editorial director David Knight said: “It’s a big moment for the international music video industry when the nominations for the UKMVAs are announced. As always, 100s of music video professionals have taken part in judging this year. And the industry has now spoken, picking what it regards as the best work, and the greatest individual contributions of the year. The nominations are a remarkable expression of the creativity in music videos right now – vibrant, iconoclastic, increasingly diverse. They are also confirmation of the wonderful craft and technical expertise evident in the medium – from filmmaking rookies to Oscar-winners.”
