In this media environment and particularly on MTV’s Video Music Awards, it’s hard to tell the spontaneous from the staged, and this event from last night’s award show veers perilously into self-parody on Kanye West’s part, but either way, this is pretty awful. If it wasn’t staged, Mr. West should be given balcony seating at all future awards shows. If it was all planned as some kind of skit, Swift clearly wasn’t in on the joke, and got a raw deal on a pretty unusual feat — a country star winning Best Female Video at the VMAs is highly irregular for the network.
