MTV’s annual Video Music Awards have always been the rebel kid sibling of the awards show circuit. While the Oscars, Tonys, Grammys and Emmys are all pomp and professional glory, the VMAs revel in stirring things up. From provocative fashion to seminal performances (and plenty of iconic moments in between), the mix of music’s biggest names and a broadcast platform for their unscripted antics is a solid recipe for an entertaining evening.
