SOUNDBITE, Justin Timberlake, saying (English)

"This is a really special video for me because it is a tribute to my grandparents. Well let's not get soft, we all have grandparents."

Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars were among other top winners, with Macklemore & Ryan Lewis collecting three awards, including best hip-hop video.

British teen sensation One Direction, who won three VMAs last year, presented the night's first award - for best pop video, to Selena Gomez for "Come & Get It."

And the band themselves took home another award this year, the fan-voted song of the summer, for "Best Song Ever."
