The O Music Awards have always been the least traditional awards show. And as if this year's edition — which will stream live online on June 27 over the course of 24 hours ... aboard a bus with the Flaming Lips behind the wheel — wasn't already proof of that point, well, try this on for size.

Thanks to fan suggestions, the O Music Awards have expanded their list of nominees, meaning that acts like Rihanna and Radiohead have picked up nods, and 30 Seconds to Mars are now tied with the Lips, Taylor Swift, Tanlines and MC Hammer (!) as the event's most-nominated act.

RiRi picked up a nom in the (very prestigious)Best Artist With a Cameraphone category — she's up against the likes of Justin Bieber and Kreayshawn — while Radiohead are now up for the Digital Genius Award, facing off against Gorillaz, iamamiwhoami and OK Go (to name just a few). 30 STM earned a nod for Best Online Concert Experience, which, when coupled with their Fan Army FTW nomination, means they'll head into the awards show with a total of two noms.

So far, more than 2.7 million votes have been cast in all the O Music Award categories. For a full list of nominees and to vote for your faves — including Nicki Minaj and One Direction — in each category, check out the show's official site.

The O Music Awards will stream live at OMusicAwards.com on June 27, when the Flaming Lips will board the Magical Mystery Merry Prankster Bus and attempt to break Jay-Z's record for playing the most concerts in one 24-hour period.
