Sept. 7 (UPI) -- Lady Gaga won Artist of the Year Sunday at the MTV Video Music Awards, one of 12 categories for which she was nominated.
She thanked her "little monsters" for "always supporting me and always supporting the monster in me."
"I hope as you navigate through the mayhem of daily life you are reminded of the importance of art in your life," Lady Gaga said.
Lady Gaga has the most nominations at this year's VMAs, including Video of the Year and Song of the Year. She won three categories announced before the live event -- for Best Album (Mayhem) and Best Direction and Best Choreography for "Abracadabra."
