𝑹𝒐𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒕 𝑺𝒎𝒊𝒕𝒉 also introduced Gwen Stefani during the main show of the event.
The Cure’s video for 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 was nominated at the Best Video category; they didn’t win though.

Linkin Park’s 𝑪𝒉𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑩𝒆𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒕𝒐𝒏 together with Natasha Bedingfield and Joe Hahn presented Best Female nominees.
Placebo crossed paths with 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤 quite a few times, they played some festivals together, traveled over the US during Projekt Revolution tour 2007 and just shared a nice friendly attitude towards each other.
I hope you liked this short story behind this beautiful picture of Brian and Amy.
