Best Artist nominees Kendrick Lamar and Ed Sheeran earned four nominations each, including Best Local Act nominations for their respective home regions (Best US Act and Best UK & Ireland Act, specifically).

Sheeran’s smash single 'Shape of You' was also nominated for Best Song, along with DJ Khaled’s chart topper 'Wild Thoughts', Shawn Mendes’ pop hit 'There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back', Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee’s summer anthem 'Despacito' remix featuring Justin Bieber, and Clean Bandit’s dancehall hit 'Rockabye'.
 
The 2017 MTV EMAs will broadcast live around the globe from The SSE Arena, Wembley in London on Monday, November 13 from 8am, Only on MTV – On SKY Channel 015.
