The Weeknd & Daft Punk’s “Starboy” Video Gets MTV EMA Nomination Before It’s Even Out
Last week, the Weeknd released “Starboy,” a collaboration with Daft Punk and the title track from his upcoming album. The song’s music video isn’t out yet — it’s set to arrive tomorrow, according to a recent Instagram by the Weeknd — but it’s already been nominated for an award. As Pitchfork points out, the “Starboy” video is up for Best Video at the MTV EMAs, along with Beyoncé’s “Formation,” Kanye West’s “Famous,” Tame Impala’s “The Less I Know The Better,” and Coldplay’s “Up&Up.” So, uh, hopefully it’s a good video! (It probably will be, because Grant Singer is directing it.)
