And the winners are...

The 2022 MTV Video Music Awards--and list of the night's biggest winners--has officially arrived and we're more excited than ever. The star-studded event, held this year at New Jersey's Prudential Center Aug. 28, saw a slew of historic nominations for some of music's most influential artists.

Doja Cat, Jack Harlow and Harry Styles led the way in earning the most nominations for the night, with the trio landing eight apiece. (All three artists recently nabbed one more nomination in the Song of the Summer category). Following close behind them would be none other than Lil Nas X and Kendrick Lamar, who also tied with seven nods each. But that's not all: Billie Eilish, Drake, Dua Lipa, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift and The Weeknd each scored an impressive five nominations.

As far as first time nominees go, this year's list included Baby Keem, GAYLE, Kacey Musgraves, Mneskin, Anitta, Becky G, Dove Cameron, Karol G, ITZY, JID, Muni Long, Tems, Wet Leg and more.
