mtvThe 2014 MTV Video Music Awards were handed out on Sunday night and leading the way was Beyoncé with four awards. While three of them were awarded off air, including Best Video with a Social Message and Best Cinematography for “Pretty Hurts,” the multi-hyphenate, who was also the only multi-winner of the night, was given a 15-minute slot to perform a medley from her most recent album. Said medley coincided with her being given the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award for the excellence of her videography, an honor that has also been won by Britney Spears, LL Cool J, and Janet Jackson. Other winners on the night included Miley Cyrus for Video of the Year, Fifth Harmony surprisingly taking home Artist to Watch over 5 Seconds of Summer, and Lorde earning Best Rock Video for debut “Royals”.
