Wet and wild at MuchMusic Video Awards by Billie Joe's Entourage

The red carpet swiftly turned into a red river, but we knew it would take more than a soggy strip of flooring material to put a damper on the MuchMusic Video Awards.

An early-evening deluge timed perfectly to truncate the annual, big pre-show build-up to last night's MMVAs ceremony at Much headquarters on Queen West nevertheless added a new urgency to the usual hysteria that splays around Queen and John at this time of year.

Hedley may have dominated the MuchMusic Video Awards with four big wins, but it was a nostalgiac performance by the New Kids on the Block that stole the show Sunday night.

The MuchMusic Video Awards are unlike any other awards show on television. Instead of podiums and stuffy speeches, the MuchMusic headquarters is transformed into a mulit-stage party that attracts thousands to Queen Street West in downtown Toronto.

Here are some winners from the awards show:

  • Best Video: Hedley, "For The Nights I Can't Remember"
