tight-trousered lads once again find themselves competing for the evening's top award. They'll go up against Angels & Airwaves, Atmosphere and fellow Decaydance Records artists the Academy Is ... and Gym Class Heroes for the Woodie of the Year, mtvU's equivalent of Artist of the Year.
But Panic aren't even the night's most-nominated artists. That honor is shared by some Brits: Mercury Prize winners the Arctic Monkeys and avant-folkie Imogen Heap, who scored three Woodie noms apiece.
The Monkeys and Heap will compete against each other in both the Breaking Woodie (given to the year's best newcomer) and the Streaming Woodie (bestowed upon the most-downloaded artist at mtvU.com) categories. The Monkeys are also nominated for the International Woodie, alongside Sia, Corinne Bailey Rae, the Subways and Cham (not to be confused with Chamillionaire). Heap is up against Gogol Bordello, Gnarls Barkley, Lady Sovereign and Wolfmother in the race for the Left Field Woodie — the award given to an artist who defies categorization.
Other categories include the Good Woodie, given to the artist whose commitment to social change made the biggest difference over the past year, and the Road Woodie, handed out to the act that toured the hardest. Over all, almost 50 artists landed nominations, including the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Chamillionaire, 30 Seconds to Mars and Gorillaz.
Fans can log on to mtvU.com between now and October 20 to vote for their favorites in all 10 categories. Winners will be announced at a live concert October 25 at New York's Roseland Ballroom, and the show will air on MTV, MTV2 and mtvU the following week.
My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy and Death Cab for Cutie were the big winners at last year's Woodies, which were handed out at a raucous ceremony that featured live sets by Matisyahu, Saul Williams and the Go! Team, as well as gratuitous Lou Reed action (see "My Chemical Romance Win Woodie Of The Year At mtvU Awards").
