Best New Artist
Lady Gaga Wins Best New Artist
Directed by Ray Kay
The newest queen of the charts turned out this bass-bumping follow-up to "Just Dance." We're not bluffing when we say the Lady is hot in this video.
--
Best Hip-Hop Video
Eminem Wins Best Hip-Hop Video
Directed by Joseph Kahn
Eminem doesn't pull any punches—or shy away from impersonations—when it comes to slamming Hollywood stars in his videos. This is no exception.
--
Best Male Video
T.I. Wins Best Male Video
Directed by Anthony Mandler
The entire video for "Live Your Life" is shot in a Memento-like reverse chronological order. If that doesn’t hold your attention, T.I.'s hot co-star Rihanna will.
--
Best Pop Video
Britney Spears Wins Best Pop Video
Directed by Joseph Kahn
The music video for "Womanizer" gives you a chance to see what it's like to be in a sauna with a naked Britney Spears. Yes, it's worth it.
--
Best Rock Video
Green Day Wins Best Rock Video
Directed by Marc Webb
Green Day shows that a barrage of gunfire is enough to make any lovers quarrel seem minor by comparison in their video for "21 Guns."
--
Best Female Video
Taylor Swift Wins Best Female Video
Directed by Roman White
It's a classic love story as old as the She's All That storyline. The school nerd, but closet beauty, is in love with her best guy friend, but he’s in love with the popular girl. OMG! What's a talented country music star to do?
--
Best Video (That Should Have Won A Moonman)
Beastie Boys
"Sabotage"
Directed by Spike Jonze
Listen, all of y'all. It's Sabotage! The throwback video that parodied 1970s TV crime dramas was denied its glory in 1994.
--
Breakthrough Video
Matt And Kim
"Lessons Learned"
Directed by Taylor Cohen & Otto Arsenault
The video for "Lessons Learned" opens with Matt and Kim calmly getting out of a van in the middle of Times Square in New York City. Then they go streaking.
--
Best Art Direction
Lady Gaga
"Paparazzi"
Art Direction by Jason Hamilton
Every opulent detail of a starlet's rise and fall is present in Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" video. Right down to the gold-plated forearm crutches.
--
Best Choreography
Beyoncé
"Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)"
Choreography by Jaquel Knight & Frank Gatson Jr.
It's the clip that had everyone—including Justin Timberlake and a Jonas Brother—trying to shake it like this not-so-single lady did in her vid.
--
Best Cinematography
Green Day
"21 Guns"
Cinematography by Jonathan Sela
A grimy apartment, lit only by the light coming through bullet hole-filled walls, is the perfect image for the disillusioned ballad "21 Guns."
--
Best Direction
Green Day
"21 Guns"
Directed by Marc Webb
Green Day is under attack in their video for "21 Guns." Who knew rocking out in a dingy apartment was so dangerous?
--
Best Editing
Beyoncé
"Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)"
Edited by Jarrett Fijal
The intricate choreography seems to go on and on, thanks to the slick editing that transformed those sexy moves into a single sequence. Leaves you out of breath just watching!
--
Best Special Effects
Lady Gaga
"Paparazzi"
Special Effects by Chimney Pot
Don't worry. Lady Gaga only looks like she is being thrown several stories from a balcony by her lover in the "Paparazzi" music video. Her dancing a couple of scenes later proves it.

What a night, huh?!
