The MTV Video Music Awards statuette is in the shape of which of the following?
Microphone
Astronaut
Gramophone
Rocket Ship
The MTV Video Music Awards (commonly abbreviated as the VMAs) are an award show presented by MTV to honor the best in the music video medium. The statue given to winners is an astronaut on the Moon, one of the earliest representations of MTV, and was colloquially called a “Moonman.” This distinctive design choice reflects MTV’s pioneering role in pushing boundaries and breaking new ground in the music industry. While the iconic statue has received few makeovers over the years, it was recently given a more gender-neutral name, “Moon Person.”
The correct answer is Astronaut.
