A lot of the awards at the 2026 MTV VMAs on Sunday (Sept. 27) went pretty much as expected. We all knew Madonna was going to win best long-form video for Confessions II — The Film. Madonna had been the first winner in the category in 1991 for The Immaculate Collection, and a repeat win would make a nice bookend for her unparalleled VMAs career. Sure enough, she did win that award.
BTS’ three wins, capping a big comeback year, were also expected.
But that doesn’t mean there were no snubs and surprises in the show, which ran a little over two hours.
