The Video Music Awards, also known as the VMAs, have been presented by the MTV network which has also broadcast the ceremony live each year, since 1984. They began as an alternative to the Grammy's intending to target the younger demographic of MTV viewers and focus its celebration and recognition more on pop culture contributions and achievements appealing to younger adults rather than artistic merit in the grand scheme of the music industry as appealed to industry professionals.
At the debut of the Video Music Awards, Bette Midler and Dan Akroyd hosted, and Madonna performed a risque delivery of her hit Like A Virgin, clad in a bustier-wedding hybrid accented with lace tights and a belt that read "Boy Toy" as she rolled around onstage - setting the tone for the rest of her career as well as for the future controversy of the VMA awards show.
Since then, she has appeared on the awards show many more times and been at the center of many more spectacles, such as performing Vogue in 1990 - clad in the likeness of Marie Antoinette in keeping with the performance's 18th century French theme, while performing a choreographed underwear-flashing, being fondled onstage by her male dancers, and giving one a peak up her dress - and french-kissing Britney Spears onstage in 2003. She had also taken home more MTV awards than any other of the show's winners, with a total of twenty thus far. Peter Gabriel holds the record for the most VMA's won in a single night, winning ten in 1987 for Sledgehammer.
In order to qualify as a nominee, Music singles, albums, and videos must have been released during the given year's eligibility period, usually from the 1st of July of the previous year through the 30th of June of the ceremony year. Country music charts harts used to determine eligibility for certain categories include Billboard's Hot Country Singles & Tracks Chart, Music Row Country Breakout Chart, and Country Aircheck Chart.
The Medal of Honour The Medal of Honour is the highest military award given by the United States government and is given by the President. More than half of these medals awarded since the Second World War have been awarded posthumously due to the nature that the award is recognised for, which is for outstanding acts of bravery done by a person while putting their life at risk. There are three versions of the award, for the Navy, the Air Force and the Army.
The statues received by VMA Award winners are designed as an astronaut on the moon, which was often a backdrop for the MTV logo during its earliest years. Other awards commonly given by non-entertainment industries such as corporate and crystal awards can be found at wholesale prices online.
Its categories include honors such as Video of the Year, Best Male/Female Video, Best Video in varying genres, and Best Direction, Best Choreography, Best Special Effects, and Best Editing in a Video, among others. Several awards have been introduced and retired throughout the VMA Awards history, including: Most Experimental Video, Best Post-Modern Video, Viewer's Choice Video, Best Video Game Soundtrack, Ringtone of the Year, Quadruple Threat of the Year, and Monster Single of the Year.
