The awards, which honour the year’s best performances in music, TV, film and sports, were handed out during a live telecast from the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles’ last night.

This year’s event celebrated 50 years of Hip Hop, with Busta Rhymes receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award. Drake and GloRilla tied for the most nominations overall with seven each, and they each ended the night with two victories.

The night’s highlights featured Offset and Quavo coming together to honour the late Migos member Takeoff.
