The VMAs are the most hotly anticipated event on the music calendar and after last year's twerking foam finger from Miley Cyrus, this year had a lot to live up to. Sure enough the 2014 event didn't disappoint.
It was a special night at the MTV VMAs, where the biggest stars in music, along with some new comers all went home with Moonman statues!
Katy Perry won early for Best Female Video for “Dark Horse,” while Ariana Grande also snatched a statue to kick off the night by winning for Best Pop Video. Lorde also continued her amazing breakout year by winning Best Rock Video.
The big winner of the night was Miley Cyrus, who won Video of the Year for “Wrecking Ball” and let a young boy named Jesse accept the award and give a speech about homeless youth, while she teared up during his heartfelt message.
Here is the complete winners with the nominations list (main list) of the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, presented on Sunday at the Forum in Inglewood, California.
