I watched only the preshow because the other awards are presented there.
Surprisingly enough they won with only 1 nomination compared to last year's 8
nom shut out (I personally think it was MUCH better than Madanna!). Oh well.
Great news for Garbage. As a reply to an earlier post, they did not accept the
award because it was given in the preshow. If they will be there, only time
can tell.!

Dawn Shadforth, no? Personally, I think Special was one of Garbage's poorest
videos. It seems rather silly, I think, to have put the band in fighter
planes.

My favorite Garbage video, of course, is Push It :o) It nearly ranks up with
the best Bjork videos (Hunter, Bachelorette, Hyperballad, etc.).

Right now, I'm listening to: The Rentals, "Seven More Minutes'

It was for the special effects - not for the song or the band.
Whoever created the video won it.

Shawn Broughton.....I had to rewind the tape to check the spelling cos

Well,the award was for the effects not the content/storyline.
Anyway,it should be good publicity for the Singles Video when it's
released - they can put one of those stickers on the case saying
"includes MTV Award winner Special" or whatever! :0)

No, Prodigal Frog was right, it's Dawn Shadforth and MTV is wrong.
I'm 100% certain, because I've got the July edition of Shots (no.53)
which features an interview with her, the director.

The award probably goes to the person responsible for the "special
effects"(Shawn Broughton) and not the director of the vid.....
There were two separate awards for directors - Best Direction and Best
Art Direction

Quite true and probably the biggest oversight of the entire awards
process.

Just to clear it up, Garbage only had 1 nom (as their website stated). Rumors
floated that they were up for best direction but it was false. I thought it
was true until I went to the mtv website and Garbage was listed under NEITHER
of the direction categories. You can check for yourself.

Hey now *what*? She does suck, her music is horrible. Except for maybe
that "Dress You Up(In My Love)" song, except it was in a GaP commercial,
so it automatically goes down to -100 points for coolness.

>I'm going to see "Tori and Alanis" Tuesday nite!

Oh, Ty, they're both almost as bad as she is!!! What're ya doin?! I
guess I can forgive you, you are old and your taste in music must be
wandering a bit. ^_~ Well, at least you still like Garbage...

Tori Amos is unbeleivable!!!
how can you say that she is equal to Madonna in horriblness! i personally hate
madonna!, you cant deny that the shaped music today but she treats her fans
like shit!
did you see her at both MTV Music video awards, she was such a bitch!!!
to the guy that would bring her multiple applause, she told him to stop and to
sit down.! then when the fans clapped so much that she couldnt talk she rolled
her eyes and left...

well Tori Amos is definitely one of my favorite singers, Alanis is incredible
live, but she gives me a headache.......>

I kept an open mind about alanis on the g/alanis tour and, for those
g fans that stayed, she *did* put on one helluva show, I must admit.

I'll wait for the show Tuesday, then I'll let you know what I
decide. Isn't Tori the daughter of a priest or something?
Cheers!

Actually, I'm a little excited at getting to see Alanis again - and
many say they really like Tori Amos - I've only tasted a little of her
music.

Did you guys know that Old Navy is owned by Gap?? So these commercials about
vests and stuff supposedly competing with each other... they don't care whose
vest you buy as long as you buy one! ! They're the same company!

I personally love her. I know it's rare among Garbage fans, I can't explain
why
but she amazes me. Almost 20 years of stardom and she's still paving the way
for many female singers.

That's my girl! Never kissing an ass. That's why I love Shirley too.

Yep, and that makes sense cause the commercials run by both Old Navy
and the GaP are enough to send any sane person into convulsions...which
is mostly why I can sit through them ^_~
