Oh okay well... It's over.

But what do you mean it's no longer presented? They just cancelled it? Like I was expecting to see the pop girls receiving it this decade, like Katy, Gaga Taylor, Ariana...

This award is now called different, last year it was Tricon Award for Gaga, this year Global Icon Award for Foo Fighters.
The full name of Vanguard Award was The Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, after the release of Leaving Neverland in 2019 they decided to no longer present it.

Wait so Tricon was like Gaga's Vanguard? Like that was the honour for her already? I mean I wanted a 15-minute medley. :fatcat:

I honestly think they should figure this out cause I don't think Tricon and Global Icon, and Vanguard are the same. Tricon was to celebrate achievements in three or more areas (In Gaga's case Music, Film, TV Fashion and activism) and global icon sounds more like the impact the music of the artist has had around the world.

The Vanguard was basically to celebrate the artist's career and videography as well as impact on the MTV culture. They should come up with something else apart from icon award cause I refuse to believe Gaga's Vanguard moment was just a Chromatica medley with no audience.

It wasn't even originally named MJ vanguard in thw first place when they first gave it it was just Vanguard Award (the first artist to get it was Bowie, I think) then years after, because of MJs impact they gave it the name, and then they took it out and put it back years after his death.
