France at the MTV EMA Awards 2020

For all it's called the European Music Awards, the MTV EMAs has always been the most international of award ceremonies. Hosted this weekend by (most of) Little Mix, the event had Lady Gaga as the most nominated artist, followed by Justin Bieber and BTS.

The two-hour-long show - the 27th time it has been staged - was broadcast internationally, but Covid-19 restrictions mean that the performers taking part were filmed at different locations around Europe rather than at a central event.
 
Among the main awards, alongside the four awards won by BTS, David Guetta picked up an award for Best Electronic. He was also nominated for the Video for Good category for Let's Love, a duet with Sia, but the category was won by H.E.R.'s I can't breathe.

Guetta performed at the event, with a version of Let's Love featuring Raye from Budapest.

In the regional awards, the five shortlisted acts were Soprano, Slimane et Vitaa, Gims, Matt Pokora and Aya Nakamura. The prize was picked up by Matt Pokora.

From the Belgian nominations, Angèle won the Best Belgian Act award.
