    Congrats to Mike Shinoda on Fort Minor's first ever MTV Video Music Award.

    FM won a VMA for Ringtone Of The Year for a 15 second snippet of "Where'd You Go", featuring Holly Brook and Jonah Matranga. They beat out the likes of the Black Eyed Peas ("My Humps"), Bubba Sparxx feat. Ying Yang Twins ("Ms. New Booty"), Nelly feat. Paul Wall ("Grillz"), and Kanye West feat. Jamie Foxx ("Gold Digger") to win, which is quite an impressive feat.

    Update: Check out Mike's acceptance speech on YouTube here.

    Thanks to Nickelnine!

    I found it rather stupid that he was treating the award like it was something extremely important. It's just a ringtone award and he was thanking people like he won Video of the Year or something. :lol:

    Worst VMA show ever, btw. Thumbs waaaay down to Mr. Jack Black and MTV.

    Yeah that is the dumbest award ever. But I guess FM just hasn't penetrated the mainstream deep enough to win a better award.

    Well I loved last years VMA, Mike's score was great and it was the first time I saw R. Kelly's "urban opera".. which I have since poked fun at at every oppertunity.

    Let's be really honest. A VMA is not something to be proud of.

    The acceptance was a lil much for what really is a lame award... It's cool in the sense of who they beat since ringtones are such a craze. I'm pretty happy for 'em. Any sucess they have is well earned in my eyes. I didn't even watch the VMA's... I can't anymore. I get so damn angry. And I really hate MTV.

    That's the worst award I've ever heard about.
    It's like winning an award for putting your shoes on the right feet.
