\n The 2020 VMAs were a hot mess.<\/p>\n

Ratings are in for the annual awards show, which went on Sunday despite the challenge of social<\/a> distancing. According to Variety, the show drew 6.4 million viewers across all ViacomCBS platforms during the simulcast, a 5% drop from 2019. That number includes the pre-show, main event, post-show and encores; no figures were available for only the two-hour primetime broadcast.<\/p>\n

By comparison, last year\u2019s event \u2014 including the two-hour primetime show itself, hosted by comedian Sebastian Maniscalco \u2014 drew an audience of 6.8 million for all programming. The 2019 primetime event itself attracted 4.9 million total viewers.<\/p>\n

The MTV production, which saw performances from Miley Cyrus, BTS and others, was the first major awards show of the COVID-19 pandemic. It attempted to pull off a \u201clive\u201d event \u2014 but lacked the energy of years prior by a wide margin.<\/p>\n

Hosted by \u201cHustlers\u201d actress-singer Keke Palmer, statues went out to artists including The Weeknd, who won video of the year for \u201cBlinding Lights,\u201d and Lady Gaga, who picked up the most Moon Persons with five awards.<\/p>\n

But the mood was somber amid the death of \u201cBlack Panther\u201d star Chadwick Boseman \u2014 not to mention the ongoing toll of the pandemic and the unrest brought to light by Black Lives Matter protestors. ABC aired \u201cBlack Panther\u201d commercial-less Sunday evening to honor the late actor, which may have diverted viewers from the awards.<\/p>\n
