Oszałamiającą liczbę jedenastu nominacji zgarnęła Beyonce w związku z wydanym w kwietniu albumem wizualnym „Lemonade”. Niewiele mniejsze szanse na zwycięstwo ma Adele (8 nominacji, w tym 7 za klip do „Hello”). Możemy podejrzewać, że ze statuetkami wyjdą z imprezy także Drake (6), Ariana Grande (5) i Rihanna (4).
