Last week the nominees for the 2009 MTVU Woodie Awards were announced, and of course peta2 was repped hard! The Woodie Awards come around every December just in time to give college students a much needed break from cramming for exams. The show always hosts an impressive list of performers, including Gym Class Heroes, All Time Low, Imogen Heap, and Vampire Weekend, and this year should be just as amazing!

Death Cab for Cutie and Yeah Yeah Yeahs are both nominated for Best Video, which has previously been won by Motion City Soundtrack and Say Anything. Overnight sensation and vegetarian heartthrob Christofer Drew (a.k.a. Never Shout Never) is up for the Breaking Woodie award, which was taken home by There for Tomorrow at last year's festivities. Other notable peta2 contenders include Tech N9ne for Left Field Woodie and P.O.S. in the category with the fiercest competition, Performing Woodie. I gotta say, I saw P.O.S. a few times during my stay on Warped Tour this year and he killed it! He's got my vote! Who are you voting for?

If you're unsure of what Soundset is then you're in for a treat, and if you're in the Minneapolis area I encourage you to come out!

Who's performing? Good question! Some of the best hip-hop artists like Atmosphere, The Pharcyde, Brother Ali, P.O.S., Doomtree, Sage Francis and loads more! You can check out all the info here.

Did I mention that we'll be there? That's right, we will be! Come out, enjoy the incredible music, and sign the McCruelty petition. McDonald's seriously needs to get their act together and needs to stop cutting the throats of live birds and adopt a less cruel method of slaughter NOW!
