Drake, Rihanna and Katy Perry lead the charge going into the September 6 awards show.

By Gil Kaufman

The videos have been reviewed, the list has been narrowed and you are now looking at the full list of nominees for the 29th annual MTV Video Music Awards.

Rihanna and Drake lead the pack with five nominations each, followed by VMA darling Katy Perry with four and a bumper crop of new and veteran faces with three noms each.

What are you waiting for? Start voting for the 2012 VMAs now!
