At least Nicki Minaj tried to bring a little heat to the proceedings. But with no Miley, no Taylor, no Justin or Selena, no Demi, no genuinely beefing rappers or really awkward personal situations between performers, this year’s VMAs were bound to be a bit on the flat side. Still, a few of the live performances were decent, and some of the winners are bound to get a push in their careers.
Unlike at past VMAs, there were no really dominant winners across different categories, and no VMA records were broken. But one could say that Camila Cabello registered some important validation for both her current music and her decision to go solo, taking home arguably two of the most important awards of the night. And Cardi B and Childish Gambino, who tied for most “Moon-Persons” with three each on the night, also got some important recognition.
Below we have the full list of this year’s winners, if you missed any of the action.
