The MTV VMAs is one of the most recognisable events on the music industry calendar. Last night the 2018 edition was in full swing, but who was it that made the biggest impression and had a real presence at this star-studded event?
It seemed the artists to dominate were Childish Gambino, Jennifer Lopez and, unsurprisingly, R&B power couple Jay Z and Beyonce. There were some newcomers proving their worth also, though, as Cardi B and Camila Cabello picked up some gongs for their musical contributions.
See below for the full list of winners and their categories.
