NICKELBACK leads this year's 2009 MuchMusic Video Awards nominations, with five nods including the big one: Video of the Year.
But wait, they're -- gasp! -- tied for first place. Could there really be an exception to Nickelback's all-out dominance of Canadian awards shows (See: 2009 Junos)? Toronto-based R&B newcomer Danny Fernandes is also leading the race with five nominations, including Video of the Year and UR Fave New Artist of the Year.

Other multiple nominees include Vancouver pop-punks Marianas Trench (four nods), and hip-hop artist k-os, Bedouin Soundclash, alt-rockers the Midway State, post-grunge band Theory of a Deadman and Nova Scotia MC Classified with three nods apiece.
The awards show takes place in Toronto on Sunday, June 21.
Double nominees -- and provokers of early onset female puberty -- the Jonas Brothers are already set to co-host the annual bash, which will feature a performance from their fellow fans'-choice nominee for favourite international video, Lady Gaga.
