MTV Video Music Awards 2016: Ποιός σάρωσε τα βραβεία;
Σε μία φαντασμαγορική βραδιά, πραγματοποιήθηκαν το βράδυ της Κυριακής 28 Αυγούστου 2016 τα MTV VMA στην Madison Square Garden Arena στο Manhattan, με πολλές εντυπωσιακές εμφανίσεις τόσο στη σκηνή όσο και στο κόκκινο χαλί.
Μεγάλη νικήτρια της βραδιάς ανακηρύχθηκε η Beyoncé κατακτώντας 8 από τα 11 βραβεία, που ήταν υποψήφια, και με αυτά γίνεται η καλλιτέχνιδα με τα περισσότερα βραβεία ξεπερνώντας τη Madonna.
Επιπλέον ο επιτυχημένος Dj & παραγωγός Calvin Harris κέρδισε δύο βραβεία για το “This Is What You Came For” και το “How Deep Is Your Love”, ενώ και οι Fifth Harmony στέφθηκαν νικήτριες σε δύο κατηγορίες “Best Collaboration” & “Song of Summer”.
Ξεχωριστή στιγμή η βράβευση του αξέχαστου David Bowie για το κύκνειο άσμα του, “Blackstar”. Μοναδικές ήταν όμως και οι εμφανίσεις επί σκηνής με την Queen Bey να κλέβει τις εντυπώσεις, παρουσιάζοντας ένα φαντασμαγορικό 15λεπτο medley του “Lemonade”.
Στη σκηνή των VMAs επέστρεψε 9 χρόνια μετά η Britney Spears, παρουσιάζοντας με τον G-Eazy το νέο της single “Make Me” σε μία εμφάνιση που θύμισε σε πολλούς την πριγκίπισσα της ποπ των 00’s.
Ακολουθεί αναλυτικά η λίστα με τους υποψηφίους και τους μεγάλους νικητές της βραδιάς.
