MTV VMA 2015 winners: the full list

The 2015 MTV Video Music Awards are being held Sunday, August 30, at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Awards will be handed out in 16 categories, and Kanye West will be presented with the Vanguard Award.

Taylor Swift leads the nominations for the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards, boasting 10, mostly for her “Bad Blood” video, which is nominated for Video of the Year. Ed Sheeran boasts the second most nominations with six. He is also nominated for Video of the Year for “Thinking Out Loud.“ Kendrick Lamar also boasts four nominations.

The record for most awards won by an artist over their career is held by Madonna, who holds 20 trophies. Even if Swift swept all of her categories, she would not catch up. She could, however, tie Peter Gabriel’s record of 10 wins in a single year. He won those awards in 1987 — nine for his famous “Sledgehammer” video and the Video Vanguard Award in addition.
