Full List Of Winners At The MTV VMAs 2020

The 2020 MTV Video Music Awards held last night, August 30, 2020, with performances that aired from different locations in New York City due to the Covid-19 pandemic. 

 

Keke Palmer who hosted the event from an outdoor set near the Empire State Building kicked off the ceremony with a pre-recorded video honoring Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman, who died at age 43 on Friday August 28, after a four-year battle with colon cancer. Boseman was “a true hero”, said Palmer, “not just on screen, but in everything he did.”

 

Lady Gaga, who led the evening with nine nominations alongside Arina Grande, won five honours at the MTV Video Music Awards.

 

The singer received awards for artist of the year, song of the year, best cinematography and best collaboration for Rain on Me and the inaugural Tricon award, which recognizes an artist who is highly accomplished across three or more disciplines.

 

“Just because we’re separated right now, and culture may feels less alive in some ways, I know a Renaissance is coming,” Gaga said during her final acceptance speech. “Stay safe, speak your mind, and I might sound like a broken record, but wear a mask — it’s a sign of respect.”

 

Ariana Grande walked away with four wins, while The Weeknd nabbed two and dedicated his awards speeches to justice for Jacob Blake and Breonna Taylor.

By

  A  court has handed a 25-year jail term to a white Florida woman over the fatal shooting of her Black Nigerian neighbour through a closed door. Back in August, Susan Lornicz was found guilty of manslaughter for the June 2023 shooting of Ajike “AJ” Owens during a dispute about children playing near Lornicz’s home in Ocala, in central Florida. Owens, a 35-year-old Nigerian mother of four, was unarmed and knocking on Lorincz's door when the older woman fired a single round from her handgun. She later told detectives that neighborhood children, including Owens’, had left toys in her yard before. She told police Owens was shouting  “I’m going to kill you”  while banging on the door after Lornicz earlier confronted the kids and threw a pair of roller skates.
