Last night saw Green Day and U2 win gongs at the 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards.
Green Day and U2 were among the acts honoured at last night's 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards.
Presented by US singer Katy Perry in Berlin, the awards saw Green Day walk away with the best rock prize, while U2 were handed the best live act gong.
In addition, Placebo was named the best alternative group, Lady Gaga took best new act, Linkin Park scooped best world stage performance and Turkish hip hop/rock group maNga won best European act.
Meanwhile, Beyonce was the main winner of the evening, clinching three gongs - best female, best song for Halo and best video for Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It).
The awards opened with a song from Green Day, while U2 performed a short set from Berlin's historic Brandenburg Gate which was beamed into the show.
However, the U2 performance was not without controversy. Organisers installed a two-metre wall around the venue, blocking the view of people who turned up without tickets.
