The MTV Video Music Awards 1989 were presented on September 6, 1989. The prize was awarded to videos that premiered from April 2, 1989 to June 1, 1989. The award ceremony took place at the Universal Amphitheater , Universal City , California . Arsenio Hall was the moderator .
This year, four new categories were added with Best Heavy Metal Video , Best Rap Video , Best Dance Video and Best Post-Modern Video . Was painted for Best Concept Video . Another innovation was the change in the deadline, which from this year extended to the period from June to June of the respective consecutive year, instead of the previous April to April. To compensate for this, videos from 14 months could be nominated this year.
The winners of the evening were Madonna and Paula Abdul , who each won four trophies, including the award for Video of the Year. Michael Jackson led the nomination list with nine nominations .
Video of the year was the controversial video for This Note's for You by Neil Young , which was originally banned from MTV Network because it parodies of Michael Jackson and Spuds MacKenzie contained. The decision was later revised. Still, it was a surprise when the video won the event's grand prize. The microphone went off briefly during Neil Young's speech, whereupon MTV denied that it was intentional.
The excitement of the year was the appearance of stand-up comedian Andrew Dice Clay , who sang nasty Mother Goose rhymes. This earned him a lifelong performance ban on MTV. Def Leppard's appearance with the song Tear It Down was the last public appearance by guitarist Steve Clark before his death on January 8, 1991.
