The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights" won video of the year at the 2020 VMAs.The Weeknd/YouTube

MTV handed out 24 awards on Monday night at the 2020 VMAs.
Four of those awards were handed to the wrong artists, including video of the year, which went to The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights."
Read a full list of the winners here.

MTV's annual Video Music Awards are designed to celebrate the best songs and visuals of the past year.

This year's remote ceremony doled out major awards to deserving artists like BTS, Megan Thee Stallion, and Taylor Swift. But a few categories were noticeably fumbled — even if the winners are, hypothetically, based on fans' votes.

Here are four awards that were handed to the wrong artists, in no particular order.

"Blinding Lights" didn't deserve to win video of the year.

Maluma and J Balvin's video for "Qué Pena" was fairly standard, whereas Bad Bunny's "Yo Perreo Sola" was a stroke of genius.
