With a total of 13 nominations at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMA) 2010, it's expected that Lady Gaga will win awards atleast half of her nods.
And it did happen.
Lady Gaga was the biggest winner at the VMA 2010 held Sunday, September 12, 2010, at the Los Angeles' Nokia Theater.
Lady Gaga's hit single "Bad Romance" earned her many awards at the VMA 2010 such as Best Dance Music Video, Best Female Video, Best Pop Video, Best Choreography, Best Direction, Best Editing and the highest award, Best Video of the Year. She also won Best Collaboration with Beyonce for their song "Telephone".
Her record of 8 wins this 2010 makes Lady Gaga as the 2nd artist with the most awards in a single year, next to Peter Gabriel who won 10 in 1987.
With 3 awards in 2009 and 8 this year, Lady Gaga is also now among the Top 5 artists with the most awards ever in VMA history. She's now 4th tied with Greenday and Eminem having 11 awards. Eminem won 2 awards this year, Best Male Video and Best Hip Hop Video.
