Justin Wins, Kanye Loses It at MTV Awards
He may not have taken home the most awards of the night, but Kanye West once again had a lock on the biggest: the booby prize.
At the Justin Timberlake-hosted MTV Europe Music Awards, known as the EMAs, the tirade-prone hip-hop star bum-rushed the stage and let loose an expletive-laden outburst after his "Touch the Sky" failed to win for Best Video.
"F--k this!" West pronounced on the podium, after interrupting the acceptance speech of the actual winners, French club music purveyors Justice vs. Simian. "[My video] cost a million dollars, Pamela Anderson was in it, I was jumping across canyons and s--t! If I don't win, the awards show loses credibility. Nothing against you [J vs. S], but hell, man."
After he was ushered off stage, he continued his rant backstage.
"That was some spread the love bulls--t, 'Oh, everyone should have an award,' " he said of Justice vs. Simian's win for "We Are Friends," shortly after admitting he hadn't actually seen the video. "Please press people, print 'Kanye says f--k that!' "
Consider it done.
Back on stage, emcee Timberlake attempted to diffuse the awkwardness of the moment by announcing that "after the show, Kanye will be in the parking lot accepting awards he did not win.
"Seriously though, I've got sexy covered, it's good to see someone's doing crazy."
Score one for the Mousketeer.
Between flare-ups, West did manage to accept one Gong—the EMA's answer to the Moon Man—that he was actually given: the Best Hip Hop Award.
The most hardware, however, went to Timberlake and Gnarls Barkley, who walked away from the Copenhagen to-do with two Gongs apiece. Timberlake nabbed the Best Pop and Best Male prizes, for which he was up against West, while Gnarls Barkley bagged awards for Best Song, for "Crazy," and the Futuresounds Award, an honor given to the new act deemed to have the brightest future.
Other winners included Christina Aguilera (Best Female), Red Hot Chili Peppers (Best Album for Stadium Arcadium) and the Killers (Best Rock).
The Sam's Town denizens also performed during the show, as did Diddy, Nelly Furtado and Snoop Dogg, who earlier in the day had a arrest warrant issued in California, stemming from a September incident in which a collapsible baton was found in his carry-on luggage.
Unlike West, not all the big-name losers were sore—some were just absent.
Madonna, who understandably has more pressing engagements at the moment, was shut out after being up for three awards.
Still, the Material Mama was at least there in effigy. British comedian Avid Merrion attended the ceremony in the guise of Madonna, in disco-era leotard and all, asking, "Anyone got a baby I can buy?" Sacha Baron Cohen's Borat, too, appeared in a taped segment, saying his only concern about the pending adoption was that "this singing transvestite will not be such a good father."
The awards were determined the same way as MTV's VMAs. Fans across Europe cast their votes online and via text for the artists they want to win.
