Green Day, which arrived at the Miami venue in the vintage green convertible from their gritty Boulevard Of Broken Dreams video, won best rock video and video of the year for the clip two of its leading eight nominations. It also won the viewer's choice award, best group and several technical categories, losing only to Gwen Stefani's What You Waiting For? for art direction.

The Gorillaz animation duo, which includes Blur's Damon Albarn, picked up two awards, Best Breakthrough Video and Best Special Effects, for Feel Good Inc.
