Full list of winners from the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards

BEYONCÉ’s groundbreaking visual album 'Lemonade' won eight Moonmen, including “Video of the Year” for 'Formation,' at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards, which aired live today from New York’s famed Madison Square Garden.

The global megastar surprised the audience with a jaw-dropping “Lemonade” medley that recreated the stunning imagery of the visual album.  Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award-winner Rihanna dazzled with a career-spanning four-act performance – including an electrifying opening dance medley and a trio of stirring ballads to close – before accepting the VMAs highest honor with a heartfelt tribute by Drake.
 
Britney Spears made a triumphant return to the VMA stage with a soaring performance of her G-Eazy collaboration 'Make Me…'. Kanye West made a special appearance to deliver a meditation on fame before introducing the steamy and surreal video for 'Fade,' starring actress and GOOD Music recording artist Teyana Taylor and her fiancée, the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Iman Shumpert.  Future tore through a blistering performance of his 2015 hit 'F**k Up Some Commas,' after being introduced by legendary Olympian Michael Phelps, who revealed he’d been listening to Future in the meme-launching photo of him in Rio.
