Aaah, any video awards that goes down in the states almost strives to have the most controversy just so it will take up every headline in the morning. The admin began when Miley Cyrus was announced as the host for this year’s MTV VMA’s – and she took the opportunity to announce a surprise album during the show. Then Nicki Minaj blasted Miley for her recent interview with the New York Times, Kanye announced his running for president in 2020 and the Biebs returned to the stage after releasing his new album last Friday.

All the drama seems to take away from the actual winners – so here’s a full list below with links to their videos. Check ’em out.
