Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Britney Spears double up at MTV VMAs

It was ladies night at the MTV Video Music Awards last night (August 28) as Katy Perry, Britney Spears and Lady Gaga took home two honours apiece.

Katy Perry, who had 10 videos up for awards, took home two, including the Video of the Year for 'Firework', but she lost the Best Pop Video honour to Britney Spears, who also landed the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.

Lady Gaga did not come out of character all night as her male alter-ego Jo Calderone (who can be seen in her new music video for 'You And I'), even accepting her Best Female Video award as him. She won the first award of the evening for Best Music Video With A Message for 'Born This Way'.

Russell Brand served up a brutally honest tribute to the late Amy Winehouse, revealing he once wrote her off as a "crazy" woman who wandered around their native London stinking of "the booze" until he heard her sing.

The list of winners is:

Best Video with a Message - 'Born This Way' by Lady Gaga

Best Pop Video - 'Till The World Ends' by Britney Spears

Best Rock Video - 'Walk' by Foo Fighters

Best Hip-Hop Video - 'Super Bass' by Nicki Minaj

Best Collaboration - 'E.T.' by Katy Perry featuring Kanye West

Best Male Video - 'U Smile' by Justin Bieber

Best New Artist - Tyler, The Creator

Best Female Video - 'Born This Way' by Lady Gaga

Video of the Year - 'Firework' by Katy Perry

Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award - Britney Spears
