Hotly tipped Canadian MCs? Check. Hard-charging Southern-rock royalty? Yep. Animal Collective? You bet. The nominations for the 2009 mtvU Woodie Awards are in, and, well, let's just say it's a pretty diverse field. Chosen by college students
Drake and KOL face off against Asher Roth, MGMT and the Silversun Pickups for the night's biggest award — Woodie of the Year — given to the artist who made the biggest splash on mtvU and the college music scene over the past year. Grizzly Bear and La Roux are both up for the Breaking Woodie (given to the year's best emerging artist), along with Wale, Friendly Fires, Passion Pit and Never Shout Never. Animal Collective will battle Green Day, Phoenix, 3OH!3 and POS in the Performing Woodie category, given to the year's best live act. Needless to say, this ain't the Grammys. The 2009 mtvU Woodie Awards will be held November 18 at New York's Roseland Ballroom, with performances and appearances to be announced shortly (in previous years, Beck, Death Cab for Cutie, All Time Low and Santigold — to name just a few — have taken the stage). The show will then premiere Friday, December 4, at 10 p.m. ET on mtvU, MTV, MTV2 and Palladia. Voting in all categories begins Monday (October 5) at Woodies.MTV.com and runs through November 16. The nominees for the 2009 mtvU Woodie Awards are: Woodie of the Year Asher Roth Kings of Leon Drake MGMT Silversun Pickups The Breaking Woodie Grizzly Bear Never Shout Never Wale La Roux Friendly Fires Passion Pit Left Field Woodie Amanda Blank Janelle Monáe Major Lazer Jay Reatard Tech N9ne Best Video Woodie Matt & Kim, "Lessons Learned" Dead Weather, "Treat Me Like Your Mother" Death Cab for Cutie, "Grapevine Fires" Anjulie, "Boom" Yeah Yeah Yeahs, "Heads Will Roll" Kid Cudi, "Day N Nite" Performing Woodie Green Day Phoenix 3OH!3 Animal Collective POS The Good Woodie (Given to the artist with the greatest social impact) John Legend, Show Me Campaign Wyclef Jean, Yele Haiti Kenna, PlayPumps Jamie Tworkowski, To Write Love on Her Arms Ra Ra Riot, John Ryan Pike Memorial Foundation Alicia Keys, Keep a Child Alive/ AIDS activism This report is provided by MTV News
