The My VH1 Music Awards was an annual music award ceremony held by American television network VH1 held in both 2000 and 2001.[1][2] Categories, nominees, and winners were selected entirely by public voting at VH1.com.[3] The ceremonies were held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California, broadcast live on VH1 and online. The award statuette was designed by sculptor Lawrence Nowlan.[4]

2000

Hosted by John Leguizamo. Performers included Christina Aguilera, Bon Jovi, The Corrs, Creed, Metallica The 2000 VH1 Awards was Jason Newsted's last performance with Metallica before leaving the band.
