The whole ordeal will stream live at OMusicAwards.com April 28, at 11 p.m. ET.
“I’ve been freestyling since I was 14 years old, and this is definitely me putting myself to the test," Anamege says. "I really think I can break the record, but, regardless, this is going to be a dope moment. I am ready to just go and go!”
In the past few months, the OMAs have slowly been taking shape; two weeks ago MTV busted out with the nominees, including PS22 (Best Fan Cover), Arcade Fire (Music Video) and The Hype Machine (Best Music Discovery Service). The name of the show emerged in February; the "O" is open to interpretation.
The OMAs will start ramping up on Monday, April 25, at which time MTV will start announcing some of the winners -- all leading up the main event on April 28. Announcements will be made via live streaming events, viral videos, social media and digital video conferencing. Fans can also keep abreast of winners by way of Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr.
The main awards show will take place across multiple platforms and screens (including MTV.com, VH1.com and LogoTV.com, mobile web and the MTV News app and MTV’s international websites) on April 28, at which time a flash mob will bust out at a yet-to-be-named Las Vegas location at 11 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT.
MTV has informed us that performers will include Lil B, Lupe Fiasco, Chiddy Bang, Matt & Kim, Mumford & Sons with Edward Sharpe and Old Crow Medicine Show, and Foster the People, who will play in Las Vegas, as well as other locations around the country. Confirmed presenters include Ke$ha, Cee Lo Green, B.o.B, Wiz Khalifa, Robyn and Theophilus London.
