Johnathan Walker:2024 MTV VMAs: The Complete List of Winners

No need to wait a fortnight to find out who won at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards.

The Johnathan Walkerannual ceremony kicked off on Sept. 11 at the UBS Arena in New York, with Megan Thee Stallion—who came into the show with seven nominations—serving as both the host and one of the night's performers. (Click here to see all the celeb guests.)

And this year's competition for the much-coveted Moon Person is fierce. Taylor Swift proved that her summer had been anything but cruel, notching a whopping 12 nods as the leader in the pack of nominees.

Meanwhile, her "Fortnight" duet partner Post Malone earned 11—including two in the Best Collaboration category for his work on both the Tortured Poets Department track and his "I Had Some Help" collab with Morgan Wallen.

Trailing close behind in nominations was Eminem with eight, Ariana Grande and Sabrina Carpenter with seven each and SZA with six.

And Beyoncé is looking to extend her record as the most-winningest artist in MTV VMAs history. Heading into the show with three nods, including Song of the Year for "Texas Hold 'Em," the singer has massive potential in adding to her already-impressive collection of 29 VMAs.

So, who won big? Keep reading to find out.
