VMA winners: losers that can't duck flying bottles?
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver September 1st, 2006

They might've lost their bottle at Reading (or gained some, depending on how you look at it), but Las Vegas-spawned emo sorts Panic! At The Disco (pictured) won the gong for Video Of The Year at last night's MTV VMAs in New York.

'I Write Sins Not Tragedies' beat off (oh ha ha) competition from Madonna and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Elsewhere, Best Group Video went to* The All-American Rejects* for 'Move Along' and James Blunt scooped the Best Male Video award for 'You're Beautiful'.

Here's a run-through of some of the major trophy winners.

Video Of The Year: Panic! At The Disco 'I Write Sins Not Tragedies'

Male Video: James Blunt 'You're Beautiful'

Female Video: Kelly Clarkson 'Because Of You'

Group Video: The All-American Rejects 'Move Along'

Rap Video: Chamillionaire 'Ridin''

R&B Video: Beyonce Featuring Slim Thug And Bun B_ 'Check On It'_

Hip-Hop Video: Black Eyed Peas 'My Humps' Dance Video: Pussycat Dolls Featuring Snoop Dogg 'Buttons'

Rock Video: AFI 'Miss Murder'

Pop Video: Pink 'Stupid Girls'

New Artist In A Video: Avenged Sevenfold 'Bat Country'

Ringtone Of The Year: Fort Minor 'Where'd You Go'

Viewer's Choice: Fall Out Boy 'Dance Dance'

Apparently the ceremony was a particularly boring one (well, look at the winners), with the 'highlight' being when rapper Mos Def was arrested for an impromptu performance of a song criticising the government's handling of the Hurricane Katrina clear-up.
