Although the VMA Awards 2010 haven't been held yet, Eminem has already been given an honor. He will perform the opening number at tonight's awards ceremony.

Eminem has eight nominations at VMA awards 2010

Eminem has eight nominations thanks to his album "Recovery." The question is, what will be perform at the VMA Awards 2010? The show-opening segment is usually boffo. Examples incllude last year's Michael Jackson tribute, and who can forget the "kissing scene" at the 2003 VMAs between Madonna, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.

It's unknown what Eminem will perform, but likely it will be something from "Recovery." We're sure he hopes a great lead-in to the show will be the beginning of a great evening for him.

While Eminem has eight nominations, Lady Gaga has 13. Who will be the big winner at tonight's awards, or will anyone lead the pack with a huge number of wins?
