2018 MTV Video Music Awards: The Complete List Of Nominees And Winners

Miss the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards? Don't worry — we've got you covered.

On Monday, Aug. 20, 2018, the music industry's biggest stars gathered at Radio City Music Hall in New York City to celebrate the year's very best in music at the 35th annual VMAs.

Cardi B, who led this year's nominees with an impressive ten nods, kicked things off with a funny intro. It marked the rapper's first major appearance since welcoming her first child, daughter Kulture, with husband Offset last month. Over the course of the entertaining evening, Jennifer Lopez delivered an epic medley of her biggest hits before accepting the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. Meanwhile, the likes of Ariana Grande, Logic, Post Malone, Nicki Minaj, Shawn Mendes, Panic! at the Disco, Travis Scott, and more also took to the stage with incredible performances. And, near the end of the show, Madonna sparked controversy on social media over her tribute to the late Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin.
