Funfilled MTV-Video Music Awards +Winners Full List

MTV Video Music Awards 2013 Result
The 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, which aired live
on Sunday night from Brooklyn’s Barclays Center for
the first time ever, had one thing on its mind:
performance, performance, performance. ”NSync
reunited. Lady Gaga re-emerged. And Katy Perry
delivered a knockout punch. In fact, there were more
performances than awards given out (less than 10
awards were handed out during the two-and-a-half
hour show.)

You Back” to “Girlfriend”
For the awards that were given out, it was a mixed
bag of winners, with no single artist dominating.
However, Justin Timberlake took home the night’s
two biggest awards, and Macklemore and Ryan Lewis
walked away with two as well.
Lady Gaga opened the show with new single
“Applause,” her first major performance since
canceling the tail-end of her Born This Way tour and
undergoing hip surgery in February. Keeping in line
with her latest performance art-persona, she
seamlessly changed in and out of elaborate costumes
and wigs several times throughout the song – from
an all-white Flying Nun-type costume to a black-
sequined leotard to a string bikini made out of beach
shells – while seemingly lip-syncing her way through
the song.
But the night belonged to Justin Timberlake, who was
presented with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard
award, performing for a solid 15 minutes to celebrate
the win, including a brief reunion with his former
group ‘NSync. He also walked away with the biggest
award of the night, Video of the Year, for “Mirrors.”
It was Timberlake’s first performance at the VMAs in
six years, and the first time he’s performed with
‘NSync since 2003. The reunion was a mere 90
seconds, with the group singing and dancing to two
of its biggest hits: “Bye Bye Bye” and “Girlfriend.”
The rest of the time Timberlake performed solo,
singing a medley of his hits, from “Like I Love You”
and “Cry Me a River” to “Suit & Tie” and “Mirrors.” In
his acceptance speech, he made a point to say that
he wanted to “share the award” with his former
bandmates, jokingly adding, “We can keep it at my
house.”
The most moving performance of the night, however,
came from Macklemore and Ryan Lewis (featuring
Mary Lambert and joined onstage by Jennifer
Hudson), who sang “Same Love” soon after winner
the award for Best Video With a Social Message for
its pro-gay marriage stance. During the acceptance
speech, Macklemore said, “To watch this song spread
across the world is a testament to what is happening
right now in America on the forefront of equality. Gay
rights are human rights; there is no separation.” The
duo also won Best Hip-Hop Video for “Can’t Hold Us,”
featuring Ray Dalton.
But not all of the night’s performances were winners.
Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke did a haphazard (and
at times cringe-worthy) mash-up of “We Can’t Stop”
and “Blurred Lines” that featured giant dancing
teddy bears and Cyrus twerking and groping Thicke.
And Kanye West gave a dark performance of “Blood
on the Leaves” where he mostly appeared in
silhouette against a backdrop of trees and was
heavily bleeped for offensive language. Both Cyrus
and Thicke walked away empty-handed, despite
being nominated in three categories each and having
some of the biggest hits of the summer. West wasn’t
nominated at all.
The Song of the Summer award went to One
Direction for “Best Song Ever,” which beat out both
Cyrus’ “We Can’t Stop,” Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” and
Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky.”
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift won Best Female Video for “I
Knew You Were Trouble.” During her speech, she
alluded to her short-lived fling with One Direction’s
Harry Styles, saying, “I want to thank the person who
inspired this song – who knows exactly who he is –
’cause now I got one of these,” as the camera
awkwardly cut to Styles.
The show ended with Katy Perry doing a fun, boxing-
themed take on her latest hit single “Roar.”
