FILIPINA singer-songwriter Moira dela Torre is nominated for Best Asia Act at the 2023 MTV EMAs, which will take place in Paris on November 5.
The “Paubaya” and “Tagpuan” hitmaker is up against BE:First of Japan, Bright of Thailand, Tiara Andini of Indonesia and Treasure of South Korea.
Dela Torre is the sole artist from the Philippines who is nominated this year.
Previous nominees included Maymay Entrata who competed in 2021.
Dela Torre was previously nominated at the 2019 MTV VMAs, but for the Best Southeast Asia Act category. Sarah Geronimo is the first and so far the only Filipino to win the award.
In 2021, the category was expanded into Best Asia Act, with Maymay Entrata as the first nominee from the Philippines.
Meanwhile, in MTV’s announcement released on Wednesday, October 4, Taylor Swift leads the nomination with seven nods, including “Best Artist,” “Best Song” and “Best Video.”
Filipino-American singer Olivia Rodrigo and SZA follow closely with six nominations each, that include for “Best Artist,” “Best Song” and “Best Video.”
Doja Cat, Måneskin, Miley Cyrus and Nicki Minaj each has four nominations, including “Best Song” and “Best Artist.”
There are 26 first-time nominees ahead of music’s biggest global celebration, with three nominations for BTS’ Jung Kook, marking his first MTV EMA nominations as a solo artist.
Central Cee, FLO, Ice Spice, PinkPantheress scored three nominations each, while Asake, Coi Leray, Metro Boomin, The Weeknd, NewJeans, Peso Pluma and Reneé Rapp are all nominated twice.
Previous MTV EMA “Best Video” winner, The Weeknd, also received two nods.
This year, the MTV EMAs will also feature the all-new “Best Afrobeats” category. Artists in the running for the inaugural award are Asake, Aya Nakamura, Ayra Starr, Burna Boy, Davido and Rema.
Paris Nord Villepinte, operated by Viparis, is the official venue for the 2023 MTV EMAs. The event marks its first return to Paris since 1995.
Fans can now vote for their favorites across categories at www.mtvema.com until October 31, at 11:59pm CET.
The “Biggest Fans” and “Best Group” winners will be voted for at a later date via @MTVEMA on social media.
The winner of the “Best Video” category will be chosen by MTV.
Fans from 24 regions around the world can also vote for their favorite artists in the “Best Local Act” category.
The 2023 MTV EMAs will broadcast on MTV in more than 150 countries – fans in Southeast Asia can follow @MTVAsia and @MTVEMA on social media for more show updates. The show will also be available in multiple international territories live on Pluto TV and on-demand on Paramount+.
