P.Diddy höchstpersönlich wird den Moderator geben und Kanye West dabei zugucken, wie er seine "Diamonds From Sierra Leone" auf der Bühne performt. Zum Kanye gucken hat er an dem Abend aber wahrscheinlich öfter die Chance: 3mal nominiert als Künstler und 4mal als Regisseur! Ansonsten glänzt noch Missy Elliott mit 6 Nominierungen und greift nach dem Mondmann in der Kategorie "Best Hip-Hop Video".
