VMAs: Kendrick Lamar Wins Video of the Year

VMAs 2017 Winners: List (Complete) — Getty Images

Kendrick Lamar took home the award for video of the year at 2017 Video Music Awards, which were handed out Sunday night on MTV.

The rapper also won best hip-hop video for "HUMBLE" at the show, which was held at the Forum in Inglewood, Calif.

Katy Perry hosted the ceremony, for which the award — previously known as the Moon Man — has been rechristened as the Moon Person in a bid for gender neutrality.

The cable network, which previously combined performers of both genders in categories for its rebranded Movie & TV Awards, also replaced the best female and best male video awards with one artist of the year prize.

Additionally, MTV added one of the new Movie & TV Awards categories to the VMAs, recognizing, in the best fight against the system category, videos that inspire viewers to fight injustice. All six nominees in that category — presented by the mother of Heathery Heyer, who was killed during the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va. — were declared winners.

Heading into the show, Lamar had the most VMA nominations, with eight mentions for his video "Humble." Katy Perry and The Weeknd landed the second-most noms with five each.

A list of winners follows. All the news on the show can be found here.
