2011 MTV VMA Winners
Britney Spears was awarded Best Pop Video for Till The World Ends at the top of last night's MTV Video Music Awards, an evening that also saw the fan favourite honoured with the Video Vanguard Award.
Katy Perry also walked away with multiple moonmen, including the coveted Video Of The Year for Firework, and Best Collaboration for E.T. with Kanye West.
Foo Fighters took Best Rock Video, while Nicki Minaj won Best Hip Hop Video.
Justin Bieber made a point to thank both God and Jesus as he accepted the award for Best Male Video. Best Female Video went to Lady Gaga, who still wasn't giving up her male alter-ego act.
Best New Artist went to Tyler, The Creator, who I had never heard of before, but Twitter followers quickly suggested he's an anti-gay rapper. Can someone tell him we live in 2011 now? Eminem's cool with the gays, Tyler, The Creator needs to catch up.
And though she was shut out of broadcast categories, Adele's Rolling In The Deep won Best Cinematography, Best Director, Best Editing and Best Art Direction. Just wait till the Grammys when she sweeps the floor with all these suckers.
