US hip hop artist Nicki Minaj hosted the two-hour show which saw One Direction top the award list with three trophies for best pop act, best live show and \u201cbiggest fans\u201d.<\/p>\n

US singer and actress Ariana Grande also picked up two awards for best female and best song for her hit Problem.<\/p>\n
Pharrell Williams lost out on best male to Justin Bieber.<\/p>\n
Introducing a montage of Osbourne\u2019s \u2018best bits\u2019, including clips from his family\u2019s hit reality show, guitar legend Slash told the audience: \u201cFor four decades the Prince of Darkness has rocked anyone who dared to listen.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a guy who does not know how to do ordinary. He scares the hell out of most people and all bats. But to me is a gentle man and a gentleman.\u201d<\/p>\n
Collect the global icon award, Osbourne said: \u201cI don\u2019t know where they got this icon shit from but it\u2019s good to be here tonight. God bless you all, thank you for coming.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sharon said earlier on the red carpet: \u201cI\u2019m so proud. It\u2019s his night. I just want him to have the best time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Biffy Clyro singer Neil said ahead of the show: \u201cI hope it\u2019s not proper heart problems. If it is, Calvin, get well soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
On teaming up with Slash he said: \u201cI\u2019m playing a song with one of my heroes, so I\u2019m pinching myself every 10 seconds to make sure it\u2019s not a dream.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe thing about icons like Slash is that they put you at ease very quickly. He\u2019s a legend and a real gentleman.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile Brighton duo Royal Blood said 2014 had been a \u201cdream come true\u201d as they prepared to perform their hit Figure it Out.<\/p>\n
Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher said: \u201cWe have got to meet pretty much all of our influences and play with half of them, so we are nothing less than grateful for how fortuitous we\u2019ve been.\u201d<\/p>\n
It was Glasgow\u2019s first time hosting the MTV EMAs which have previously been held in London, Liverpool, Belfast and Edinburgh.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s theme was time travel and there were nostalgic moments as clips were shown from some of the previous 20 ceremonies, beginning in Berlin in 1994.<\/p>\n
Kilt-clad David Hasselhoff, who presented best female to Ariana Grande, said he was sorry not to be in the German capital for Sunday\u2019s celebrations marking the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Wall.<\/p>\n
The Hoff enjoys a successful music career in the German-speaking world and famously performed the song Looking for Freedom at the Wall in 1989.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cI couldn\u2019t be there tonight but I\u2019ll be back in Berlin. They know my heart belongs to them.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know, I had nothing to do with bringing down the wall, I just sang a song about freedom and it happened to be the right song at the right time.\u201d<\/p>\n
