Beyonce nets three prizes at MTV awards

American singer Beyonce scooped three prizes at the MTV Europe Music Awards on Thursday at a ceremony in Berlin marking the 20th anniversary of the fall of the wall that once divided the city. She received prizes for Best Female, Best Song (‘Halo’) and Best Video (‘Single Ladies/Put a Ring on It’) on one of pop music’s biggest nights outside the United States. “I have to dedicate this award to all the other beautiful artists,” Beyonce said after being named Best Female. “Thank you MTV for this wonderful honour.” Beyonce’s husband, hip hop star Jay-Z, was also a winner on the night, topping the Best Urban act category. He referred to the theme of the Berlin Wall, saying, “I look forward to the day when all those walls come down.” US singer Katy Perry, hosting the awards for the second year in a row, had promised a show inspired by the ‘Cabaret’ film with Liza Minnelli, set in 1930s Berlin, and did not disappoint. There was a video tribute to the late Michael Jackson during the show. reuters
