The2005 MTV Video Music Awards aired live on August 28, 2005, honoring the bestmusic videos from the previous year. The show was hosted byDiddy at theAmerican Airlines Arena inMiami, Florida. The big winner of the night wasGreen Day, who took home seven VMA's, includingBest Rock Video,Best Group Video,Viewer's Choice, andVideo of the Year.
Although the approach of a strongtropical storm (which becameHurricane Katrina prior to its first landfall just north of Miami) cancelled much of the pre-show activities, the show itself went on as scheduled after the storm passed. Later that year, the MTV VMAs for Latin America, scheduled forCancún, were canceled due toHurricane Wilma (which later made an identical but reverse path acrossSouth Florida as Katrina did).
MTV announced on April 5 that the 2005 Video Music Awards would be held on August 28 at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, marking the venue's second consecutive year hosting the ceremony.[1] Nominees were announced on July 25 at a press conference hosted by Kelly Clarkson, Kanye West, and Diddy in Miami.[2] At the same press conference, MTV announced that Diddy would host the ceremony.[3] The ceremony had a water theme, with several water features constructed for the ceremony byWET.[4] The ceremony broadcast was preceded by the2005 MTV Video Music Awards Pre-Show by the Shore. Hosted byKurt Loder andSuChin Pak with reports fromJohn Norris,Sway, andGideon Yago, the broadcast featured red carpet interviews and performances byMike Jones featuringSlim Thug andPaul Wall,Rihanna, andFall Out Boy.[5] The ceremony was also the first to expand beyond linear television with a "My VMAs" channel on MTV Overdrive featuring bonus material both before and after the ceremony. It also was one of the first to have a16:9 format.[6]
