Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

On September 20, MTV revealed the nominations for the 2010 Europe Music Awards, set to air internationally on November 7. Lady Gaga and Katy Perry lead with five nods each, while Perry and Linkin Park have so far been confirmed to perform at the ceremony.

Lady Gaga and Katy Perry will compete in the categories of Best Pop, Best Female, and Best Song, going up against Rihanna in all three categories. Gaga also gets a nod for Best Live Act and Perry for Best World Stage Performance, and both will compete for Best Video.

Rapper Eminem earned nominations in four categories, including Best Song, Best Male, and Best Video for his Rihanna collaboration "Love the Way You Lie."

Other nominees include Muse, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Linkin Park, Kings of Leon, and Ozzy Osbourne, all competing for Best Rock, while Justin Bieber, Ke$ha, B.o.B, Plan B, and Jason Derulo will vie for Best New Act.

Through November 4, fans are invited to vote online for winners in most categories. Voting is also currently open, through October 18, for the category of Best Regional Act, which includes dozens of entries from around the continent. Regional winners will enter the shortlist for Best European Act, the winner of which will be announced online during the MTV EMA ceremony.

The awards ceremony will take place on November 7 at Madrid's Caja Magica and be broadcast live by MTV in more than 40 countries in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
