MTV VMA's - Video Music Awards 2020 (2020 Music Awards) The 2020 MTV Video Music Awards were held on August 30, 2020. Keke Palmer hosted the 37th annual ceremony, which was presented primarily from New York City, but with no in-person ceremony due to the COVID-19 pandemic.Lady Gaga was the most awarded act of the night, with five awards, with Gaga and Ariana Grande being the most nominated acts, with nine each. Gaga received the inaugural MTV Tricon award for achievements in three or more fields of entertainment. The longlist of nominees for Push Best New Artist were revealed on July 23, 2020, and the nominees for other categories were announced on July 30. Fan voting began on July 30 and ended on August 23. Nominees for Song of Summer, Best Group and Everyday Heroes: Frontline Medical Workers were additionally released on August 24. The show was dedicated to Chadwick Boseman, who died of colon cancer two days before the ceremony.The show received 6.4 million viewers in first-run viewing (excluding livestreams through network apps) which was a 5% decrease from the 6.8 million viewers at the previous ceremony.The awards were originally scheduled to be held at Barclays Center for the first time since 2013.Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was expected to be held with "limited or no audience", as one of the first major indoor events to be held in the city since the onset of the pandemic in the state, with MTV also announcing plans for the show to "[span] all five boroughs" to "pay homage to the strength, spirit and incredible resilience of NYC and its beloved residents".MTV eventually scrapped the indoor component of the ceremony at Barclays after "close consultation with state and local health officials" and announced that it would be conducted in an outdoor format across the city; the Center will host the 2021 show instead.The majority of performances were pre-recorded either in New York City (with locations such as Hudson Yards and a drive-in theatre in Brooklyn), or on a chroma key set with New York scenery for acts unable to travel to New York City (primarily in Los Angeles, and South Korea in the case of BTS).All personnel entering New York City was required to quarantine for three-to-four days on arrival, and be tested before and after filming. Red carpet appearances and acceptance speeches were also recorded during the same sessions.New one-off award categories for "Quarantine Performance" and "Best Music Video from Home" were added on July 30 in light of the ongoing pandemic.Three additional categories were announced on August 24: Song of Summer, Best Group and "Everyday Heroes: Frontline Medical Workers", with the latter created "to celebrate performances by COVID-19 first responders".In addition to the ViacomCBS family of networks, the VMAs were also simulcast on terrestrial television by The CW (a joint venture of ViacomCBS and WarnerMedia).The CW also aired a post-show recap special, comprised mostly of pre-show performance footage.
