  • August 26, 2013
  • Brad O'Mance

Justin Timberlake newJustin 'JT' Timberlake was the 'big winner' at last night's MTV VMA awards, 'scooping' four awards including the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.

The 'Tunnel Vision' hitmaker's other awards were for Video of The Year for 'Mirrors' (WHAT A SONG), Best Editing (also for 'Mirrors') and Best Direction for the boring 'Suit & Tie'.

Timbo also performed a 16-minute long set including a brief reunion with Joey Fatone 'et al' and you can watch that — as well as the other per­form­ances including Miley Cyrus' subdued singsong — here.

Elsewhere, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis won three statuettes, Bruno Mars won two and Taylor Swift, One Direction, Robin Thicke, P'!'nk and Selena Gomez all went home with one new bookend.

Here's the full list of winners in case you're making notes or something.
