A Michael Jackson tribute performed by Madonna and Janet Jackson kicked off another controversial MTV award show. At the MTV Movie Awards earlier this year, Brüno landed in Eminem’s lap stirring up thousands of conversations around the preplanned stunt. The VMA’s have their own stunt with Kanye West stealing Taylor Swift’s thunder during her acceptance speech.

Russell Brand was a fantastic host for the second year. Pink, Green Day, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and many more artists performed in front of the always energetic audience. Of course, Lady Gaga’s multiple costumes made everyone’s heads turn.
