2008 MTV Video Music Awards

Nominees

Best Choreography

Dancing and music are real old friends. So old that it's just about impossible to imagine one without the other. These five nominees push them both forward in new and interesting ways.

  1. Adele"Chasing Pavements"

    Choreograpy by Marguerite Derricks

    It's rare that choreography would be described as 'down to earth,' but in this case -- a video that defies gravity by completely succumbing to it -- 'down to earth' is a perfect fit.

  2. Chris Brown"Forever"

    Choreography by Tone & Rich

    Chris Brown moves so smooth it's hard to believe he's a real person. Wait. Is he a real person? If so, his choreographer deserves a big pat on the back.

  3. Chris Brown"Kiss Kiss"

    Choreography by Flii Stylz

    Well look at what we have here. Chris Brown does it again, nabbing a second nomination, this time with a little help from T-Pain. What can we say? The man can really dance.

  4. Gnarls Barkley"Run"

    Choreography by Mikey Rooney

    'Run,' Gnarls Barkley's recreation of an early 1980s dance show, has flavor for days and plenty of way out dance moves to back it up.

  5. Pussycat Dolls"When I Grow Up"

    Choreography by Robin Antin & Mikey Minden

    Whether or not the choreographer's request was simply that The Pussycat Dolls 'go play in traffic,' we may never know. What we do know is that the resulting video has more moves than a chess set.
