The 2017 VMAs Winners List To Help You Keep Track Of All Those Trophies

Between the performances and outfits, it's sometimes easy to lose sight of the real point of an award show — you know, to give out awards. While the MTV Video Music Awards are known for stunts like bringing live snakes on stage, settling epic feuds, and performing unexpected duets, there are still trophies that get handed out. And the 2017 VMAs winners are arguably the year's best in music, at least according to the fan votes, so you'll want to see who takes home a newly renamed Moon Person trophy during the ceremony.

In a move toward inclusion, MTV renamed their famous Moonman trophies to the gender-less Moon Person. Not only that, but they did away with gendered categories — like Best Female Video and Best Male Video. It's an awesome effort by the network to level the playing field. Instead of judging musicians by their gender, they're simply celebrating what they bring to the table as an artist.

On top of that, MTV also added a new category to the mix: Best Fight Against The System, which spotlights videos that spread a message. The nominees range from "Immigrants (We Get The Job Done)" from The Hamilton Mixtape to Alessia Cara's "Scars To Your Beautiful," focused on body image.

OK, enough build-up. Who took home the actual trophies? Keep reading to find out. (Winners will be bolded in the list below as they get announced throughout the ceremony.)
