sourceThe Red Hot Chili Peppers and Shakira led this year's pack of MTV Video Music Award nominees with a total of seven nominations each, but they were practically shut out when a number of the night's Moonman trophies went instead to up-and-coming acts during last night's (8/31) award ceremony in New York City.
At no time was this more evident than when the night's top honor was handed out for Video of the Year, which went to underdog quartet Panic! at the Disco for "I Write Sins Not Tragedies." The teenaged rockers beat out videos from heavyweights Christina Aguilera, the Chili Peppers, Madonna and Shakira.
Other surprises included James Blunt's Best Male Video win for "You're Beautiful," which topped nominated clips from T.I., Nick Lachey, Busta Rhymes and Kanye West; and All-American Rejects' Best Group Video victory for "Move Along," which bested videos by the Chili Peppers and Gnarls Barkley, among others, for Best Group Video ("Move Along").
