MTV's Video Music Awards are so packed with performances and memorable moments, it's easy to forget the whole point of the show is to hand out those coveted moon people. So in case you missed any of the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards winners amid all the fun and chaos, we've compiled a handy list. Whether you're celebrating your faves' wins or protesting a few snubs, you'll definitely want to remember who got what.

The nominations were led by two pop queens, Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift. There were two new categories this year as well, one for K-Pop and the other — called Video For Good — for social activism. This year's host was stand-up comedian and actor Sebastian Maniscalco, who appeared in the Academy Award-winning film Green Book but didn't go over too well with viewers. Missy Elliott, of course, finally took home the Video Vanguard award. Additionally, Marc Jacobs was awarded the first-ever Fashion Trailblazer award at the 2019 ceremony.
