Nickelback leads with three trophies at MuchMusic Video Awards

TORONTO - Nickelback took the most trophies, but Lady Gaga was the talk of the MuchMusic Video Awards.

Nickelback won three awards - for best video, best rock video and best post-production - at the indoor-outdoor show outside MuchMusic's Toronto headquarters.

But Gaga stole the show with a splashy performance of two of her hit songs.

Her raunchy performance featured fake subway cars, dynamite and even a sparkling boustier.

The 23-year-old New Yorker also won an award for best international video by an artist.

The Midway State took home two trophies, while Danny Fernandes, Classified, the Black Eyed Peas and Simple Plan also won awards.
