On Monday, the shortlist of nominees for the Russian National Music Award “Victoria” was announced at a press conference with the participation of the award’s president Yuri Kostin and singers Philip Kirkorov (11-time winner of the award) and Denis Klyaver (two-time winner).
Out of 640 works and projects, more than 300 members of the Academy of Russian Music selected almost 50 applicants in 13 categories by closed voting. The leadership in the number of nominations (5 each) was shared between Philip Kirkorov (with a total record of 24 nominations since the establishment of the award in 2015) and the current “bomb thrower” of patriotic hits, Shaman. Bilan and Lolita are nominated in three categories, Basta and Marie Crimebreri – in two. The nominees also include poet Mikhail Gutseriev (in the “Poet of the Year” nomination and as the author of several works), composer Igor Krutoy, as well as Yuri Shevchuk and “Night Snipers” in the “Rock Performer” nomination. The winners will be announced at a large ceremony in early spring.
