MTV announced today that Gnarls Barkley has been nominated for three Video Music Awards for their transatlantic history-making smash “Crazy.”

Nominated for Best Group Video, Best Direction and Best Editing, the innovative video gives a psychedelic twist to Rorschach Tests (those dumb-ass ink blot tests that are supposed to prove you’re insane/sane). “Crazy” was No.1 in the UK for 9 weeks in a row, and was the first song to attain this position strictly through download sales.

Gnarls (Cee-Lo and Dangermouse) will also be performing at Lollapalooza on August 5th, one of a number of North American gigs that will hit Boston, Philly, Atlantic City and more.

Scheduled to air live at 8 p.m. ET on Aug. 31, the 2006 MTV VMAs will take place at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall and include performances by Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, T.I., Ludacris and more.
