Pearl Jam wins it all in 1993
First of all, Pearl Jam led the way during the 1993 Video Music Awards as they collected, well, pretty much everything. Pearl Jam scored Best Group Video, Best Direction, Video of the Year, Best Metal/Hard Rock Video and Neil Young performed on center stage. What could a band want more? What could their financial advisor want more? Nothing. It was perfect.
Fiona Apple speaks her truth
Fiona Apple scored Best new Artist in 1997 and she took the opportunity to immediately lambast the crowd and viewers at home saying, “You shouldn’t model your life on what we think is cool.” Additionally she went on to tell people to “Go with yourself” before leaving the stage.
