30 Seconds To Mars Is On A Career Roll

By Lennat Mak

It's been two years since they released their second album titled A Beautiful Lie but 30 Seconds To Mars are still running strong from coast to coast with the record.

The band just scored two nominations -- Rock Out Award and Inter Act Award -- at the 2007 MTV Europe Music Awards. The awards ceremony will be held in Munich on November 1.

In other awards news, the band is also name-checked for Best Alternative (International) and Best New Artist (International) at the Belgian TMF Awards that's happening on October 13. Other than that, 30 Seconds To Mars have also been nominated for Best Rock Act (International) for the sixth annual MTV Latin America Music Awards that's scheduled to take place in Mexico City on October 18.

Throughout their career, the band has garnered and won various nominations and awards given by MTV, FUSE, mtvU, Billboard and others. The Australian MTV Awards also named "The Kill" (directed by lead singer Jared Leto, under the alias Bartholomew Cubbins) as Rock Video Of The Year and Video Of The Year.

Earlier this year, the group also won the Best New Artist trophy on the TRL Awards for MTV Italy.
