Who can forget, for instance, the Bruno and Eminem incident at the MTV Movie Awards? (It was later confirmed the event was staged, but the speculation about that fact certainly kept it in the headlines longer.)

It looks like the VMAs, MTV's video awards, just had its YouTube moment: Kanye West grabbing the mic as Taylor Swift accepts her award, and instead directing the attention to Beyonce.

So before you see it all over Twitter, YouTube and Facebook in the morning, here's your dose of viral video intrigue for a Sunday night, and a parting question: was it staged, or just Kanye being Kanye?

BONUS: Kanye West Interrupts Obama

Update: looks like this is going to be a meme. Someone just sent us a video entitled "Kanye Interrupts Obama", a very funny mashup indeed. (Thanks to MikeonTV for finding this!)
