Award shows that feature live performances have a history of delivering all the musical goods our hearts desire, yes, but they can also get kind of...awkward sometimes. It's not a bad thing! But let's be honest, anything live on TV like an award show risks a few bumps.When it comes to the 2020 MTV VMAs and you throw in a whole pandemic, performers pulling in and out of the lineup, and, oh yeah, the fact that the show's going down in approx. 20 different locations, it was bound to be a night to remember from the jump. Here are some of the best/worst moments of the whole evening.

This is why I have trust issues. Apparently some celebs didn't even fly to NYC for this "live" show. According to report most of the performances, red carpet interviews, and award presentations were filmed days in advance—which is 100 percent understandable considering the pandemic. But, why lie about it? Okay, someone's getting fired. Fans quickly realized that certain winners (*cough* Lady Gaga *cough*) were leaked before they even had the chance to accept their moon people.
