Did the VMA Winners List Leak? And Does Anybody Care?

Leaky ship.

A scanned-in memo on MTV letterhead has leaked, purporting to show the winners of tonight’s Video Music Awards. It’s probably fake, because even an organization as famously disorganized and inefficient as MTV would most likely label its top-secret memos with something more, um, English-as-a-first-language than:

Attention is not allowed to copy this list, and this list should not leave the headquarters of MTV until the day on which the VMA 2009.

Yeah, that’s totally not how they label things like that. However, with a heavy sigh, we’ve transcribed the supposed winners in each category after the jump, as a service. If you have money on tonight’s outcome, well, that’s sad! But you might at least want to be aware of this.
