Obviously, I want Bey to win all the Moonmen she can get, but there are definitely a lot of great music videos in the running for every category. I would personally love to see Alessia Cara take home a moonman for her vid for "Wild Things," and Bryson Tiller deserves a Moonman for his work too. Guess we'll see who wins what when the Video Music Awards air live from  Madison Square Garden on Sunday, Aug. 28 at 9 p.m. ET!

Who would you like to see win at this year's VMAs?
