3 Things to Watch at the VMAs


Grammy-winning artist-producer Mark Ronson isn't afraid of a little competition -- except maybe when it comes to going toe to toe with Taylor Swift at this year's MTV Video Music Awards.

Ronson and Bruno Mars' "Uptown Funk" is competing against Swift's "Bad Blood" (feat. Kendrick Lamar) for video of the year and best collaboration, and against her "Blank Space" for best pop video at the 2015 MTV VMAs on Sunday, Aug. 30.

"I think that she's pretty much kicking ass, so we'll see," Ronson said at the Billboard and Jimmy Choo-hosted Men of Style party in Los Angeles on Friday. "But it's so exciting, like this whole year has been so surreal."

Whether he wins or not, Ronson is excited about attending this year's VMAs in L.A. "To be sitting with Bruno in the front row at the MTV Awards -- I used to go to the MTV Awards as a DJ for the after-party, and to be playing the music in between the commercial breaks. So to be nominated for awards is [surreal]," he said.

Held at the Los Angeles home of Mitch Glazer and Kelly Lynch, Nick Jonas and Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz and Joe Trohman were among those honored at the Men of Style event recognizing the music industry's best-dressed males of 2015.
