Les 16ième MVPA Awards

Pour ceux qui l’ignoreraient, les MVPA Awards, ce sont un peu les Oscars du clip. La Music Video Production Association récompense chaque année les réalisateurs de clips sur plusieurs critères classiques comme le montage, la photo, meilleur clip pour un artiste féminin, masculin, ayant un cheval dans un second rôle, etc…
