Biggest Elephant in the Room: The Twilight cast, minus a notably absent Kristen Stewart, premiered the final Breaking Dawn Part 2 trailer. Not even trying to be "tabloidy" here, but Robert Pattinson did look very sad. Sigh. The trailer is awesome though!

Most Aggressive Attempt to be Jay-Z and Beyonce: A year after Beyonce announced that Blue Ivy was on the way, Amber Rose did the same on the red carpet with her beau Wiz Khalifa. Somehow, it didn't have the same powerful effect, but between this and the fact that Amber was Kanye West's date on the infamous "Taylor Swift night," it's safe to say she's had the most interesting VMAs experiences of anyone -- besides maybe Tommy Lee.

Benjamin Button Award of the Night: Green Day's Billy Joe Armstrong seems to be perpetually going back in time as far as age is concerned. While the Twitterverse made numerous comments about his "wrinkles," we really don't see 'em. Keep doing what you're doing. Maybe he and Jared Leto have the same surgeon. 

Best Red Carpet Transformation: Seeing RuPaul on the red carpet in a demure white suit that rivaled Taylor Swift's J. Mendel number was a welcome addition to the night, and it was refreshing to see him [...]

Most Offensive Hair: Riff Raff donned a truly alarming hair look last night, that can only be described as Kriss Kross chic. 

Best Performance of the Night: Olympian Gabby Douglas joined Alicia Keys and Nicki Minaj onstage. Basically, Alicia sang her heart out, Nicki rapped and Gabby came out of nowhere doing backwards [...]

While you’ve already seen our picks for best and worst dressed from the red carpet at last night’s MTV Video Music Awards, there was a lot more to discuss from the evening’s festivities.
