IMTV nominees announced

The nominees have been announced for the 2010 Irish Music TV Video Awards:

"With a total of 35 videos nominated, we see some returning categories, as well as a few brand new ones… and of course some familiar faces. We are also adding not one, but TWO opportunities for the public to have their say – with public votes being taken for brand new categories: “Sexiest Video” as well as “Viewers Choice”."
