Gaga Knew How Many VMAs She Would Win?

[Franch Toast 26,289]

For most major award shows like Grammys, Oscars, Emmys, they don't know in advance. Maybe @SamanthaC can confirm, as her husband has a coveted Emmy.  (Also, look at the La La Land/Moonlight mess at the Oscars a couple of years back; clearly that was a fustercluck of a surprise.) 

 But for this year's VMAs, she already knew ahead of her performance as the speeches themselves were recorded the day before the performance. I'm not sure if in other years whether VMA recipients are informed in advance (other than the Vanguard). 

The exception to what I wrote appears to be that for some less prestigious awards, if they know the winner won't be there, they have them prerecord a video acceptance speech, but this doesn't happen for the major ones like Grammys, Emmys, Oscars, Tonys, Golden Globes, Critics Choice,  which is why if the winners aren't present, the presenters accept the award on their behalf. I think for the less prestigious ones, they might use the awards as bait to attract the winners to attend, but the major award shows don't need to do that.

I know the more prestigious awards like Grammys you don’t know but for shows like VMAs, bbbmas, amas isn’t it whoever shows up gets the award?

It was all prerecorded so I’m sure they told her the day they filmed the ceremony.

yeah we all knew this lol. There's a reason she was able to plan so many amazing looks. 

(and this is the case every year)

Please stop using the rumor tag for something that clearly isn’t a rumor.

Yes...she got the awards on the 26th with an outfit for each award waiting behind a closed door lol

Then on the 28th she performed her ass off and I guess teased her wins

I can confirm we had no idea he was going to win.

I mean there are also EMAs and that popcorn award standing there, so i guess it's just coincidence?

These are all MTV-related awards

Lol is this a serious question? It's why she showed up. And it's why Taylor and Beyonce showed up in previous years. You think she wears a meatdress if she didnt know if she was gonna go on stage?

I mean, it is a well known fact that award shows are rigged.

This is just MTV I never took the actual awards seriously. I am sure it’s always been planned out who they give awards to. But I am sure they told her because she has to accept the awards on that sound stage and have outfits planned out. 
 

also gaga has the number one album and hit song. I think that’s why it centered around her.

They may do what happens on RuPaul where each finalist or *nominee in this case* films an acceptance speech and only play the one that wins on the night.
