Notes

  1. ↑ Officially referred to as emcees by MTV, the trio performed typical hosting duties such as introducing presenters and performers.
  2. ↑ From the Toyota Stage in Fort Lee
  3. ↑ From Yankee Stadium
  4. ↑ Several news outlets, including Entertainment Tonight and Teen Vogue, reported that Blackpink won Group of the Year several hours before the award was announced. The tweets and articles were deleted or changed, without acknowledgment of the false reporting, once MTV officially announced that BTS won.
  5. ↑ While Michael Jackson's name was included in press releases announcing that Nicki Minaj would receive the award, it was not mentioned during the ceremony broadcast.
