2011 MuchMusic Video Awards (MMVAs) - winners


Tonight, the 2011 MuchMusic Video Awards were handed out in downtown Toronto with a show co-hosted by Selena Gomez along with MuchMusic VJs. Lady Gaga opened the show with a performance of "The Edge of Glory." Other performers on the night included Fefe Dobson, Bruno Mars, The Black Keys, Avril Lavigne, Simple Plan and host Selena Gomez herself.

The prizes were spread evenly amongst the various nominees. While a number of performers received several nominations, Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga were the only multiple winners on the night.

Bieber won UR FAVE Artist and tied with Drake for International Video Of The Year By A Canadian. When he and Drake went up to accept that award, he jokingly asked Gomez out on a date as if everybody didn't already know they were an item. Lady Gaga won for UR FAVE International Artist and International Video Of The Year (Artist) for Judas.

Other winners included Shawn Desman taking Video Of The Year with Electric/Night Like This. Pop Video Of The Year went to Down With Webster for Whoa Is Me while Rock Video Of The Year went to Abandon All Ships for Geeving.

The director known as RT! was responsible for three of the night's winning videos but did not manage to win Director of the Year. That went to Sean Wainsteim for his work on You Say Party's Lonely's Lunch.
