Lady Gaga was crowned queen of the MTV Video Music Awards, winning eight prizes (of the 13 nominations she was up for) including video of the year. The flamboyant pop singer tied Norwegian rock group a-ha, the big winners of 1986, as the second most honored act on a single night. British rocker Peter Gabriel set the record of nine competitive wins in 1987 for his innovative video Sledgehammer.
Most of Lady Gaga's Moonman statuettes were for her video Bad Romance, a futuristic clip featuring plenty of skin-baring scenes and bizarre costumes. “I was so nervous for tonight that I would let my fans down,” she tearfully said as she accepted the final award for video of the year.
As famous for her outré fashion sense as for her musical sensibilities, in each of her three trips to the stage – the other awards were announced off-camera – she wore a different costume, including what looked like a large black trash bag.
The only other multiple winner was eight-time nominee Eminem, who won a pair of awards for his Not Afraid. The rapper opened the show with a medley of songs, but hastily exited the Nokia Theater before accepting his statuettes.
