Beck and Frank Ocean lead the pack with two nominations in the O Music Awards, which award the best in the intersection between music and technology. 
 Beck got nominations for best interactive music video and analog genius, while Ocean was nominated as “Must Follow Artist on Twitter” and in the “Too Much Ass for TV” category, which celebrates NSFW music videos. (Does anyone really stand a chance against Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” in this category?) 
 Voting started today on <a href="http://OMusicAwards.com" target="_blank">OMusicAwards.com</a> and the winners will be announced on June 19 in a ceremony livestreamed on the website and the sponsoring Viacom sites – MTV, VH1 and CMT. However, the “Make a Band Famous” category, which includes Brooklyn’s The So So Glo’s and Harlem’s Tatiana Owens, will be cut from 10 artists to five on May 31, so don’t put off your voting too long.
