MTV 2008 Video Music Awards: These Folks Won

September 8th, 2008 Written by: Kendra· 1 Comment

The VMA’s, hosted by Russel Brand, dominated TV last night, broadcasted live from Paramount Studios here in Hollywood.  Britney even did a little skit with Jonah Hill and she didn’t even mess up!  So, the answer to your question is yes, Britney!  They still want a piece of you!  Brit Brit opened the show looking as hot as ever in a little silver dress and won 3 awards for “Piece of Me”, her latest, Aw-shucks-I’m-famous-don’t-mess-with-me anthem.

Is it just me or do they announce all the cool groups that won awards early (Death Cab for Cutie, Erykah Badu) and then save the lame ones for the big show?  Oops, did I just type that out loud?  There were live performances by Christina Aguilera, Kid Rock, Lil’ Wayne, Rhianna and Kanye West, along with a few others.  Anyhoo, here’s your winners for this year.  Yes, I’m serious. No, that win for The Pussycat Dolls is not a typo.

    Brit got the Pity Award, huh?

    Dang, the Disneyfication of music makes me long for the good ol’ days of pretentiously unpretentous grunge groups….
