By Ari Eastman
As expected when it comes to MTV’s Video Music Awards, this year was both a train wreck and incredibly boring all at once. Really, kudos on that. Takes true skill. But don’t (just) take my word for it. Let’s turn to the people and see how they feel it went. Spoiler: Not. Great.

I feel like reading about the #VMAs is far better than watching them.
Also can't believe I just admitted reading about the #VMAs.
