MTV VMAs 2014: Nominees, Channel And Time [VIDEO]

Fans tuning in to watch the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, the 31st annual VMA ceremony, will be able to see the 2 1/2-hour show at 9 p.m. EST on the popular music channel or, as has become increasingly popular, watch the show via live stream. Beyonce leads the pack of nominees, with Kim Kardashian and Demi Lovato among the presenters.

MTV's hugely popular awards gala attracted more than 10 million viewers last year, a number that was certainly boosted by the Miley Cyrus/Robin Thicke performance. This year's show is expected to be no different, with host Ariana Grande performing alongside other pop stars like Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift and Usher.

Along with watching on TV fans can live stream it for free on MTV's website. The television broadcast doesn't start for East Coast fans until 9 p.m., but MTV will broadcast “VMA All Access Live” online through much of the day Sunday, with stars arriving on the red carpet starting at 8 p.m. EST. All of the events will be available to watch online.

“To go from performing on the pre-show last year to opening the VMAs this year is utterly insane and just too crazy to process,” pop star Grande told E! News. “And I feel like I won't actually be able to process it until after it happens, and then I'll process it as I'm watching it, and then I'll be like 'Whoa, okay that actually happened.'”

Totally.

Fans nostalgic for the days before Grande reigned supreme, though, can bask in all the glory that is Beyonce. The superstar, who famously rubbed her baby bump at the VMAs two years ago, is nominated for eight awards, more than any other, and is also scheduled to receive a lifetime achievement award that will put her in the rarified air shared only by Britney Spears and Madonna. Along with Beyonce, who is expected to win video of the year for her “Drunk in Love” video with Jay-Z, rappers Eminem and Iggy Azalea are also nominated for seven awards each.
