Lady Gaga led this year’s MTV VMAs, winning five awards, while BTS and Ariana Grande won four each and The Weeknd won video of the year.<\/p>\n

The ceremony, filmed at several outdoor New York locations with a limited audience, was dedicated to the late Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman.<\/p>\n

It included pre-recorded speeches and performances, with Lady Gaga saying: “Love who you are. Be kind. Mask up.”<\/p>\n

Host Keke Palmer called Boseman, who died on Friday, “a true hero”.<\/p>\n

Here are some key moments from the socially-distanced show, which was broadcast on Sunday night, with the full\u00a0list of winners here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Gaga’s wins were for best artist, song, collaboration and cinematography, plus the first MTV Tricon Award – honouring her work in music, acting and fashion.<\/p>\n

“This has not been an easy year for a lot of people, but what I see in the world is a massive triumph of courage,” she said.<\/p>\n

“Just because we’re separated right now and culture may feel less alive in some ways, I know a renaissance is coming, and the wrath of pop culture will inspire you and the rage of art will empower you as it responds to hardship with its generosity and love. ”<\/p>\n
