Watch Every VMA Video of the Year Winner Ever!
Sadly, between Madonna’s floor-rolling, Kanye’s speech-interrupting, Gaga’s meat-dressing, Beyoncé’s baby-bumping, and Miley’s foam-fingering, the artists who actually win Moonmen at the MTV Video Music Awards are usually quickly forgotten. This year’s Video of the Year VMA nominees are Beyoncé’s “7/11,” Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright,” Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk,” Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud,” and Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood.” We will probably forget all about them halfway through Kanye West’s Video Vanguard Award acceptance speech, or right around the time that 2015 VMAs host Miley Cyrus makes her third costume change. Come on, does anyone even remember that Missy Elliott’s “Work It” was named Video of the Year in 2003, the year that Madonna swapped spit with Britney?
