1984: David Bowie - "China Girl" 1985: Bruce Springsteen - "I'm on Fire" 1986: Robert Palmer - "Addicted to Love" 1987: Peter Gabriel - "Sledgehammer" 1988: Prince - "U Got the Look" 1989: Elvis Costello - "Veronica" 1990: Don Henley - "The End of the Innocence" 1991: Chris Isaak - "Wicked Game (Concept)" 1992: Eric Clapton - "Tears in Heaven (Performance)" 1993: Lenny Kravitz - "Are You Gonna Go My Way" 1994: Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - "Mary Jane's Last Dance" 1995: Tom Petty - "You Don't Know How It Feels" 1996: Beck - "Where It's At" 1997: Beck - "Devils Haircut" 1998: Will Smith - "Just the Two of Us" 1999: Will Smith - "Miami" 2000: Eminem - "The Real Slim Shady" 2001: Moby featuring Gwen Stefani - "South Side" 2002: Eminem - "Without Me" 2003: Justin Timberlake featuring Timbaland - "Cry Me a River" 2004: Usher featuring Lil Jon and Ludacris - "Yeah!" 2005: Kanye West - "Jesus Walks" 2006: James Blunt - "You're Beautiful" 2007: Justin Timberlake (Male Artist of the Year) 2008: Chris Brown - "With You"
2009 Nominees Eminem - "We Made You" Jay-Z - "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)" Ne-Yo - "Miss Independent" T.I. featuring Rihanna - "Live Your Life" Kanye West - "Love Lockdown"
I have a gut feeling that Eminem won't go home without getting at least one high-profile win. Here would be the best place, though "Live Your Life" is the big hit of the group, and they could always go for Kanye too. I guess I'll predict Eminem for the win.
Congratulations, Primetime Emmy Winners!

When did this turn into Best Hip-Hop Video, Part Deux? Am I the only one who thinks that Rob Thomas's "Her Diamonds" should've been nominated (and won) here?? Oh well, we'll do with what we have here. Eminem will probably win, if not Kanye.
WILL WIN: Eminem, "We Made You" (you didn't think MTV would have him do the stunt with Brüno without some kind of reward, did you?) SHOULD WIN: T.I. featuring Rihanna, "Live Your Life" (I really don't care, though)

I agree with Troy. The last few years this category has been full of nominees from nothing but Urban Music. Is there really a lack of Solo Pop/Rock Male Artists or is MTV just being lazy by doing this?
Kanye should definetely take this, "Love Lockdown" is an amazing video, even if not his best from this album ("Paranoid" is). The concept and looks of the video are so unique.
The only other nominee that I'd would be ok wiining is T.I., whose "Live Your Life" is also a pretty good video.
Should win: T.I. featuring Rihanna - "Live Your Life" Will win: Eminem - "We Made You"
PERSONAL Rankings: 1. T.I. featuring Rihanna - "Live Your Life" 2. Kanye West - "Love Lockdown" 3. Ne-Yo - "Miss Independent" 4. Jay-Z - "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)" 5. Eminem - "We Made You"
Prediction: 1. Eminem - "We Made You" 2. Kanye West - "Love Lockdown" 3. T.I. featuring Rihanna - "Live Your Life" 4. Jay-Z - "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)" 5. Ne-Yo - "Miss Independent"
I think this is a strong line-up, however, I have a feeling Em will win based on fan-votes. T.I. or Kanye would be more deserving. Even Ne-Yo or Jay-Z.
