Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the 2011 MTV VMAs awards show was an absence of a host, but there was plenty of pre-show host action and outrageous scenes on stage to make up for it.
The winners of the awards were:
Best Video: Katy Perry for “Firework”
Best Female Video : Lady Gaga for “Born This Way”
Best New Artist: Tyler, The Creator for “Yonkers”
Best Male Video: Justin Bieber for “U Smile”
Best Collaboration Video: Katy Perry featuring Kanye West for “E.T.”
Best Hip Hope Video: Nicki Minaj for “Super Bass”
Best Rock Video: Foo Fighters for “Walk”
Best Pop Video: Britney Spears for “Til The World Ends”
Best Video With A Message: Lady Gaga for “Born This Way”
