COPENHAGEN, Denmark -- Rap star Kanye West was named Best Hip Hop artist but still came off as a sore loser at the MTV Europe Music Awards.
Kanye apparently was so disappointed at not winning for Best Video that he crashed the stage Thursday in Copenhagen when the award was being presented to Justice and Simian for "We Are Your Friends."
In a tirade riddled with expletives, Kanye said he should have won the prize for his video "Touch The Sky," because it "cost a million dollars, Pamela Anderson was in it. I was jumping across canyons."
"If I don't win, the awards show loses credibility," Kanye said.
The rapper grabbed the Best Hip Hop award earlier in the night in a star-studded event hosted by Justin Timberlake in the Danish capital.
Timberlake won the Best Pop and Best Male awards while the Red Hot Chili Peppers won Best Album. Christina Aguilera was named Best Female artist at the annual awards show broadcast live in 17 countries.
British band Muse won the Best Alternative category, and Depeche Mode earned the Best Group award.
"Wow, guys, this is totally unexpected," said Rihanna as she received the Best R&B award. In September, the 18-year-old music star won the same category in the Music of Black Origin award in London.
The show was split between two venues: a convention hall on the city outskirts where Timberlake was in charge and an outdoor stage on Copenhagen's main square where R&B songstress Kelis introduced the artists.
Rapper Snoop Dogg, Australian band Jets and The Killers of Denmark had crowds jumping up and down in temperatures just above freezing at the outdoor venue.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers were nominated in four categories, but only won one for the album "Stadium Arcadium."
Best song went to Gnarls Barkley for "Crazy."
British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen entertained the audience with his English-mangling character Borat Sagdiyev, a Kazakh TV journalist, and poked fun at Madonna who is trying to adopt an African child.
"My only concern is that this singing transvestite will not be such a good father," Borat said in a mock video link from Kazakhstan.
Other award presenters included R&B singer Cassie, Daniel Craig -- the sixth actor to play agent James Bond -- Fat Joe, "Jackass" star Johnny Knoxville and the Sugababes.
MTV's European awards are held in a different city every year. The winners are selected by fans across Europe.

He REALLY gets on my nerves.
I hope this last lack-luster album takes his ass down several pegs. |

I never could stand him. He's just so pompous for no damn reason. And besides "GoldDigga" I think his music sux. Glad I'm not the only one that hates him. |

Everybody should be allowed a few lapses. The man didn't kill anybody. He didn't pull his pants down or have a wardrobe malfunction. He didn't make a bad joke about George Bush.
Cut a brotha some slack. |

Since it's so easy for you to empathize with this infantile loser, you cut him some slack, crissyboy. |

kanye west is definately a talented artist and producer. but he is just SO dam arrogant, that it takes the focus away from his talent, and directs the "spotlight" on how much of a jerk he really is.
there have been many talented artists in the past, but their additude has overshadowed their talent.
i obviously don't know him personally, but he seems like a arrogant jerk, on the level of russell crowe (who is a VERY talented actor), but his additude takes away from his overall persona.
understanding the entertainment industry, you could be "hot" one minute, and yesterdays news tommorow.
i would say to kanye (not that he would care what i have to say, but) he needs to tone down his arrogant personality, or he may find himself a hip hop memory.
although thats easy for me to say. if i was a major industry figure, id probably be the most arrogant guy on two feet.
im just waiting for J-hood's album to drop. that boy is straight fire!

It's not easy for me to say this to you Z - but I think that you're probably one of the most arrogant guys on two feet already anyway  |

Kanye West is a good person. I see no reason to "hate" him. So he is a little flamboyant, so? I've always admired Black people with a lot of energy, and I think West displays a really good type of energy. I honestly don't see why Black people tear each other down at the slightest "affront" or "annoyance." It's the end that is important.
Go Kanye West! |
