MTV Video Music Awards: Lady Gaga wins swag of gongs, The Weeknd wins Video of the Year - ABC News

Lady Gaga has dominated at this year's MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) event, where the coronavirus pandemic, the Black Lives Matter movement and the death of actor Chadwick Boseman have been front of mind.

As the first major US awards show to take place during the coronavirus pandemic, the VMAs were held as a mostly virtual event.

While some performances took place in front of small audiences in New York City, most were recorded in advance to comply with health guidelines.

Here are some of the big moments and key takeaways of the night.

The night was dedicated to Chadwick Boseman

The awards show honoured Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman, whose death last week at age 43 shocked fans around the world.

Opening the annual ceremony dedicated to the best in pop music, host Keke Palmer said Boseman's talent and passion were an inspiration to his fans and everyone he encountered.

"We dedicate tonight's show to a man whose spirit touched so many," Palmer said.

"He's a true hero, not just on screen, but [in] everything he did.

"His impact lives forever."

Lady Gaga won a first-of-its-kind award plus many more

Lady Gaga won the first-ever Tricon award.

It recognises an artist who is highly accomplished across three or more disciplines.

Gaga has won an Oscar, a Grammy and a Golden Globe.

"Sometimes you just have to invent a new award for a living legend," MTV Australia posted on Twitter.

With a trendy face mask as her accessory — reflecting the current coronavirus pandemic — Lady Gaga performed a medley of her songs and picked up several of the VMA's signature astronaut trophies during the night.

She took out three of those awards for her collaboration with Ariana Grande, titled Rain On Me.

"Me and Ariana Grande are truly soul sisters," she said.

"We turned our tears that felt like endless rainfall into diamonds."

Known for her outrageous costumes, Lady Gaga's VMA outfits didn't disappoint.

And every new outfit on the night came with an accompanying face mask or shield. She urged her fans to also "mask up".

"I want you to love yourself tonight and every night," she said.

"Celebrate yourself, love who you are, be kind, mask up, be brave, and braver all the time."

Her most memorable moment of the night, however, came during her opening performance, when the piano she was playing took on the appearance of a human brain.

Black Lives Matter was a key theme

Canadian Singer The Weeknd, who won the Video Of The Year and Best R&B awards for Blinding Lights, opened the show on the observation deck of a New York high-rise building as fireworks exploded behind him.

And he paid tribute to Jacob Blake and Breonna Taylor — two black Americans whose shootings at the hands of police have fuelled the Black Lives Matter movement.

"It's really hard for me to celebrate right now and enjoy this moment, so I'm just going to say: Justice for Jacob Blake and justice for Breonna Taylor," he said.

Rapper DaBaby stuck with the theme, performing while handcuffed while in the back of what appeared to be a police car.

He then performed while jumping on top of the car with a burning city as his backdrop.

And singer H.E.R won Best Video in the Video For Good category for her song I Can't Breathe.

The track is about the death of black man George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police in May, a killing which sparked protests across the US.

Miley Cyrus made a Wrecking Ball comeback

Performing her latest track Midnight Sky, Miley Cyrus took viewers back to 2013 when she released the song Wrecking Ball.

But his time she used a giant disco ball to swing on.

There were new awards because of the COVID-19 impact

Ariana Grande picked up the award for Best Music Video From Home.

It was one of two new gongs MTV established to fit with the way artists had changed the way they worked during the pandemic.

She won the award for her duet with Justin Bieber, Stuck with U.

The award for Best Quarantine Performance went to CNCO for an MTV Unplugged At Home performance.

Other winners included Doja Cat, who won Best New Artist, Taylor Swift, who won Best Direction for The Man, and Colombian singer Maluma, who won the Best Latin award moments after he performed from Brooklyn.

K-pop all-stars BTS won the Best Pop, Best Group and Best K-pop awards.
