The 2000 MTV Video Music Awards (stylized as MTV Video_Music_Awards vma.00) aired live on September 7, 2000, honoring the best music videos from June 12, 1999, to June 9, 2000. The show was hosted by Marlon and Shawn Wayans at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
In the 2000 show Tim Commerford of Rage Against the Machine climbed a piece of set scaffolding and refusing to come down after his band lost the award for Best Rock Video to Limp Bizkit. The show went to commercial while security removed Commerford, who was later arrested for disorderly conduct.
Janet Jackson opened the show with her hit "Doesn't Really Matter". Britney Spears performed her hit single "Oops!...I Did It Again" which went on to become one of the VMA's most iconic and controversial performances, mostly due to her skin-colored performance attire. NSYNC also performed their hit single "Bye Bye Bye". Bizkit vocalist Fred Durst later joined Christina Aguilera onstage as a surprise guest during her performance of "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)".
For the second year in a row DMX did not show up for dress rehearsals; as a result, Nelly's performance, originally scheduled for the pre-show, was promoted to the main event.[1] Other highlights included Eminem performing amidst an army of "Slim Shady" lookalikes and a humorous montage dedicated to past VMA winners who had failed to repeat their previous success.
This marked Whitney Houston and Aaliyah's final appearance at the VMA awards before Aaliyah's death a year later and Houston's death eleven years later. That night Aaliyah received her two only VMA awards for Best Female Video and Best Video from a Film for her song "Try Again."
