Best Live

Nominees: Green Day, Jay-Z and Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Muse, Taylor Swift

Jay-Z and Kanye West's 'Watch The Throne' tour may have won rave reviews worldwide, and Muse's bombastic live shows have been among the best stadium experiences on the planet for years now, but neither of those are likely to have had as much impact on the MTV audience as the insane travelling pop phenomenon that is the Born This Way Ball. As such, we think Gaga's Little Monsters will help their Lady take home the EMAs' live crown this year.

Our prediction: Lady Gaga
