Video Music Awards - FishbowlLA http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlla LA Media News, Unspooled Copyright 2013 Sat, 18 May 2013 16:34:52 +0000 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 Kevin Hart to Host 2012 MTV Video Music Awards

Comedian Kevin Hart has been tapped as the host of the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards, the music network announced on Wednesday.

Even thought there was no “host” of the 2011 VMA’s, Hart made several appearances throughout last year’s award show.

Hart also hosted the 2011 BET Awards last June, making him an unofficial member of the Viacom family at this point.

The 2012 VMA’s are on Thursday, Sept. 6 at 8:00 p.m. from Staples Center.

The VMAs originating from arenas is nothing new as the AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami hosted the show in 2004 and 2005. It’s hard to argue with the move following a record 12.4 million viewers in 2011.

“STAPLES Center is incredibly excited to have the opportunity to host the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards,” Lee Zeidman, senior vice president and general manager of Staples Center said in a statement. “We look forward to continuing our relationship with our partners at MTV and hosting this one of kind music event here at L.A. LIVE.”

The 21st annual MTV Movie Awards will air on Sunday, June 3, 2012 from Los Angeles and the 29th annual MTV Video Music Awards will air Sunday, Sept. 9, 2012.

No location was announced for next year’s VMAs, but the Nokia Theatre at L.A. Live has hosted the show the last two years.

With the 30th anniversary set for next year, my guess is Los Angeles will get the award show in 2012 before returning home to New York in 2013.
