(andPOP) - Finger Eleven performed from the roof. The Used snuck in three f-bombs during a 10-second interview. The inebriated members of Sum 41 stumbled out of their car onto the red carpet.
But a few tears from Canada's pop princess were enough to create the water-cooler moment at last night's MuchMusic Video Awards.
Avril Lavigne became emotional while accepting the award for Favourite Canadian.
"All the fans just voted for me and that really means a lot, so thank you," said Lavigne, who earlier had won best International Video.
Lavigne was one of nine artists to perform last night at the Chum building in Toronto for the 18th annual MMVAs.
Fellow performers Billy Talent – tied with Nickelback with a leading five nominations – walked away as the big winners, taking three awards. My Chemical Romance won two.
Other performers included Hilary Duff, Fergie, Alexisonfire, Maroon 5
