But all eyes were awaiting R&B diva Beyonce, who has a career-best 11 nominations for her ode to female empowerment, 'Lemonade'. Early on Drake won the MTV 'Moonman' statuette for best hip hop video for 'Hotline Bling', while Harris won best male video for 'This is What You Came For', which features Rihanna. Taylor Swift, who has dominated music award shows for the past decade, did not get a single VMA nomination this year.
