Nominees for 2010 Mnet Asian Music Awards revealed

There has been much controversy over Mnet’s decision to hold their annual awards ceremony, “2010 Mnet Asian Music Awards“, overseas in Macau on Sunday, November 28th, as it angered the two TV broadcasters, MBC and SBS. However, Mnet is no stranger to such situations, and they have now revealed the nominees in the various categories for the extravaganza.

Despite supposedly “bad blood” between Mnet and SM Entertainment, SM Entertainment artists like Super Junior, SNSD, SHINee were nominated in the various categories released by Mnet on their official website. Mnet had said earlier in a press conference today that they had sent invitations to all entertainment companies, including SME and were awaiting a response from them.
