Tra esibizioni pre-registrate e pubblico ridotto, si è tenuta nella notte la cerimonia degli MTV Video Music Awards 2020.
La pandemia ha costretto gli organizzatori a rivedere l’evento – dedicato all’attore Chadwick Boseman scomparso lo scorso 28 agosto – spalmandolo su varie location, pur tenendo come base New York.
Tra i vincitori spicca senza dubbio Lady Gaga che si è aggiudicata cinque statuette tra cui Artista dell’Anno, Canzone dell’Anno per “Rain On Me” (con Ariana Grande, a sua volta vincitrice in quattro categorie), Miglior Tricon e Miglior Featuring.
Tornano a casa soddisfatti anche i BTS, la band K-pop di “ON”, con un poker d’assi: quattro premi su quattro nomination.
Il premio come Video dell’Anno va poi a The Weeknd per “Blinding Lights” mentre quello come Miglior Regia a Taylor Swift per “The Man”.
