OutKast and their video "Hey Ya" stole the show with a surprisingly strong challenge that garnered Best Video, Best Hip Hop Video, Best Special Effects and Best Art Direction.
The Stankonians of Stankonia.com, the #1 Outkast fan website on the planet, have crowned Bombs Over Baghdad as the favorite Outkast song of all time.
The tournament style format meant that songs went head to head, and some classics were eliminated right away. Stankonians agree that it's difficult to choose a favorite using any method, but that the voting was fair, and B.O.B. is definitely an all time classic for any band in any genre.

Stank Pimps are talking about and posting pics of VMA rehersals. Speculation is that the'll do Prototype... but maybe something else?
The Philly news says:
After four years of keeping relatively quiet and out of boldface type, First Twins Jenna and Barbara Bush are going to shake it like a Polaroid picture at the GOP convention in N.Y.C. The recent college grads will host the opening bash Sunday, Aug. 29, at Roseland with Outkast's sartorially splendid Andre 3000, Stephen Baldwin (the shy, Republican Baldwin), Barret Swatek (7th Heaven), Angie Harmon (Law & Order, Neutrogena) and defensive back hubby Jason Sehorn (no longer a Giant, now a Ram), and Bo "Still a 10" Derek.
However, the Washington Post says that Andre and P. Diddy are not part of the performance, but are shooting a documentary. What's up? Andre was spotted in 2000 with Gore t-shirts and was also reportedly at the Demo convention in Boston.
ANDRE 3000 is the world's best-dressed man, Esquire magazine says.
"He's a complete individual," Nick Sullivan, Esquire fashion director, said in New York.
OUTKAST's BIG BOI will team with SLEEPY BROWN to headline the two-day SoulFest Atlanta 2004 held outside of Turner Field on September 4th and 5th. The inaugural festival will also feature performances by LL COOL J, ANGIE STONE, MOS DEF, CHAKA KAHN, and ANTHONY HAMILTON . . .
Outkast want to tell a love story in their next video — but since they're Outkast, this isn't your typical love story. Alien love is the order of the day for "Prototype," which the group plans to shoot next weekend, with Andre 3000 sitting in the director's chair.
"If M. Night Shyamalan [writer/director of 'The Sixth Sense' and 'The Village'] had a wife who wrote romance novels, this would be it," Andre's treatment reads. "I'd like to make a love video that is as hauntingly beautiful as the track itself. So rather than try to tell some disingenuous love story about an ordinary man and woman, I'd like, instead, to set our narrative in a tableau of magic realism."
