Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award

The Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award is presented at the MTV Video Music Awards to music performers, recognizing accomplishments in music and film; because of its special acclaim, the award is usually gold-plated rather than the silver plating of the regular "Moonman"/"Moonperson" trophy. The first Vanguard awards were presented in 1984 at the inaugural VMAs, and renamed in 1991 in honor of Michael Jackson. The award is also given to music video directors who have created some of the most acclaimed music videos aired by the network. Awarded corporately, it is not given annually, and in certain years it was presented under the name Lifetime Achievement Award.
