The MTV Video Music Awards Certainly Tried, Didn’t They?

The MTV Video Music Awards is known for their buzzy, spontaneous, live moments where anything can happen. This year, as MTV adhered to social distancing guidelines, much of the show was pre-recorded in both New York and Los Angeles, and there were...no surprises. It took some of the sizzle out of the show, but at least we were left with glossy, well-planned performances and lots of Lady Gaga. Oh, well -- they certainly tried their best. Here are the biggest moments of the night.
