2000 MuchMusic Video Awards Honored

The Matthew Good Band and Our Lady Peace were the only acts to pick up multiple trophies at the 11th annual MuchMusic Video Awards, held last night (Sept. 21) in Toronto. MGB's "Load Me Up" video took home best video and best rock video awards, while OLP picked up a pair of honors voted on by music fans: favorite Canadian group and favorite Canadian video for the clip "Is Anybody Home?"

Held at the video music channel's headquarters, the show opened with Lenny Kravitz joining lifetime achievement award honorees the Guess Who on a rendition of the Canadian band's "American Woman," recently revived as a hit single for Kravitz. The Barenaked Ladies, Blink-182, and the Matthew Good Band also performed.

Among the non-Canadian winners were the Red Hot Chili Peppers (best international video), Eminem (favorite international artist), and 'N Sync (favorite international group).

Event highlights, including pictures of the show and after-event parties, will be posted today (Sept. 22) on the network's Web site.
