The 2002 MTV Video Music Awards took place on August 29, 2002. The prize was awarded to videos that premiered from June 9, 2001 to May 31, 2002. The award ceremony took place at Radio City Music Hall , New York City , New York . Jimmy Fallon was the moderator .

Justin Timberlake made his solo debut at the event after his previous band NSYNC broke up . Furthermore asked Axl Rose a new line-up of Guns n 'Roses before. The members of the band TLC were also in attendance, holding an obituary for their colleague Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, who had died in a car accident four months earlier .

Confusing was a mix-up. Michael Jackson celebrated his 44th birthday that day. On this occasion, he was presented with a fictional award in the form of a cake. Jackson thought this was a real award and thanked him with a spontaneous acceptance speech.
