Well, the 2010 Video Music Awards are in the books (unless they're still airing a repeat of the show), and while there are innumerable ways to recap an event like this -- everything from [article id="1647683"]lengthy, analytical pieces[/article] to the much more direct "[article id="1647680"]Lady Gaga and Eminem[/article] won everything" -- we figured the best way to do it was just to focus on the numbers.

What can we say? Math is awesome.
