The 2014 MTV VMAs took place last night, where eight awards were given out during a two-hour broadcast. That's less than half of the actual 18 awards that were up for grabs this year, which tells you the sad state of affairs for awards shows. Unfortunately they have become less about championing the people who did some amazing things, and more about self-promotion and selling ads.
Being the kind, respectable people that we are, Complex put together a list of a dozen awards that weren't given out last night, but should have been, ranging from the Lifetime Booty Achievement award to "Best Trap Arms." Not for nothing, our awards do have one thing in common with the VMAs: Not one award was given out to Iggy Azalea.
The “Jay Z Never Change” Award: Juicy J
The “Interesting Career Choice” Award: Cellists performing with Iggy Azalea
The “Never Invited Back” Award: Jay Pharoah
The "Dwyane Wade Lifetime Achievement" Award: Usher
The “Overstayed Their 15 Minutes of Fame” Award: 5 Seconds of Summer
The “Big Come Up” Award: Big Sean
The “Best Trap Arms” Award: Taylor Swift
The “RiFF RAFF Shade” Award: Ariana Grande
The “Creep of the Night” Award: Usher
Bruh.
The “Industry Plant” Award: Fifth Harmony
The "Lifetime Booty Achievement" Award: Jennifer Lopez
#Amen.
