It may have been the year of 50 Cent, but he'll play second fiddle to Missy Elliott, Justin Timberlake and country legend Johnny Cash heading into the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards.
Missy Elliott, Timberlake and Cash will tangle with the one-two punch of Eminem ("Lose Yourself") and 50 Cent ("In Da Club") for Video of the Year when the awards are handed out on August 28 in New York.
Emminem and 50 Cent are also looking to have a big night, as each will head into this year's VMAs with five nominations. In addition to Video of the Year, Em's "Lose Yourself" is also up for Best Male Video, Best Rap Video, Best Video From a Film and Viewer's Choice. 50's "In Da Club" will try to steal a bit of Em's spotlight, as 50 will compete with his mentor for Video of the Year, Best Male Video, Best Rap Video and Viewer's Choice. The clip also nabbed 50 a nomination for Best New Artist.
The Moonmen awards will be handed out August 28 at New York City's Radio City Music Hall. The 2003 VMAs, hosted by Chris Rock, will be broadcast live on MTV at 8 p.m. ET. The show will be immediately preceded by MTV News' live pre-show coverage.
