(CNN) — MTV announced the nominations for the 2017 Video Music Awards on Tuesday via Instagram, and rapper Kendrick Lamar leads the pack with the most nominations for his video “Humble.”

The best fight against the system category has been added to celebrate videos that inspire viewers to stand up against injustice.
