Lady Gaga Opens the MMVAs, Wins Int’l Video of the Year

Not only a performer during the annual north of the border musical showcase, Gaga happened to be named as one of the ceremony’s early winners.

Doted with the trophy for International Video of the Year for “Judas,” the 25-year-old told the packed audience, “Thank you, I’m so, so happy.”

Noting that the video’s co-director, Laurieann Gibson, hails from Canada, Lady Gaga added, “Always stick by what you believe in. Always stand by your vision. We did it!”
