Justin Timberlake will have to prep his Suit & Tie for another awards ceremony, as he has been nominated for six gongs at the upcoming MTV Video Music Awards. Joining JT at the top of the nominations is one of 2012's breakout acts Macklemore & Ryan Lewis.

Timberlake's nominations come in the categories for Video of the Year, Best Male Video, Best Pop Video, Best Collaboration, Best Direction and Best Editing.

Bruno Mars has earned himself four nods, while Pink, Robin Thicke, Miley Cyrus and 30 Seconds To Mars bagged three each.

Timberlake is among the heavy favourites to scoop the prestigious Video of the Year award but will face heavy competition from Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' 'Thrift Shop', Bruno Mars' 'Locked Out of Heaven', Robin Thicke's 'Blurred Lines' and Taylor Swift's 'I Knew You Were Trouble'.

Other categories include Artist to Watch, Best Collaboration and the rather dubiously titled Best Video with a Social Message.

It's also worth noting that Daft Punk's megahit 'Get Lucky' failed to secure a nomination in any of the VMA's categories.
