The 2020 MTV Video Music Awards were held as a mostly virtual event on Sunday, with some performances in front of a limited audience at locations in New York City.
The event is held last night from different locations in New York as a result of COVID-19 restrictions.
The event which was hosted by actress Keke Palmer paid tribute to Black Panther star, Chadwick Boseman, who died of colon cancer at the age of 43.
The biggest winner on the night was Lady Gaga with five honours from nine nominations.
In her final acceptance speech, Lady Gaga said,
“Stay safe, speak your mind, and I might sound like a broken record, but wear a mask — it’s a sign of respect.”
