The 2009 Video Music Award nominations, announced yesterday, suggest a competition to see which female pop star can rack up the most wins at the Sept. 13 ceremony.

According to MTV.com, Lady Gaga and Beyonce both lead the nominations with nine each and Britney Spears trails close behind them with seven of her own.

As for the males, Kanye West, Eminem and Coldplay each nabbed four nods.

This year’s awards will be hosted by Russel Brand for the second year in a row at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall. Already announced to performers include Taylor Swift, Green Day, Pink and Muse with Katy Perry, Ne-Yo and Chace Crawford presenting. More presenters and performers will be announced as the show draws nearer.

Fans have mixed feelings about the nominations, and many are upset about the amount that some artists received:
