Hosted ably by Tera Patrick and comedian Greg Fitzsimmons, the awards show packed the Mandalay Bay auditorium almost to capacity with fans eager to see their favorite stars pick up their trophies.
Reprising their role from last year’s show, dancers from John Stagliano’s Las Vegas dance show “Fashionistas” enthralled the crowd, only this time with a politically themed message narrated on the large video monitors by director Eli Cross. It was a precursor to the night, which saw “Fashionistas” and Cross’s “Upload” take home awards in key categories.
