Sept. 7 -- The MTV Video Music Awards began with many people expecting it to be the ultimate showdown between angst-ridden rap and squeaky-clean entertainment, as Eminem and ’N Sync headed into the MTV Video Music Awards with six nominations each.
Shawn Wayans kicked off the event posing as comedian Chris Rock, last year’s host. He proceeded to insult most of the star studded audience, and ended up getting pounced on in a mock riot with Britney Spears and boy band lookalikes.
Steven Tyler and Dr. Dre handed out the first awards for Best Group Video, to Blink 182 for “All the Small Things,” then a surprised Jennifer Lopez picked up the award for Best Dance Video “Waiting For Tonight.”
