The 2016 MTV EMAs are taking place in Rotterdam, Netherlands on Sunday at the Ahoy Rotterdam arena, and Gossip Cop has all the winners. Hosted by Bebe Rexha, the MTV Europe Music Awards honor the best music from around the globe. In addition to regional categories, there are several international awards, including Best Male and Best Female performers, Best Song and Best Video. See the full list of MTV EMA winners below!

He’s also nominated for Best Male and Best Song (“Sorry”), while Beyonce’s vying for Best Female, Best Video (“Formation”), and Best Live Act.
