Remember Miley Cyrus' highly scrutinized performance of We Don't Stop at last year's MTV Video Music Awards? Well, it's that time of the year again.

Craziest VMAs Red Carpet Outfits Ever

The most unpredictable awards of the year are just hours away. And, there's sure to be some epic moments as all the biggest names in music, including Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Iggy Azalea, Usher and many more, gather up at The Forum in California tonight.

The competition is tough this year. For example, Beyonce's Drunk in Love, Pharrell Williams' Happy, Iggy Azalea's Fancy, Miley Cyrus' Wrecking Ball and Sia's Chandelier are all up for Video of the Year.

The Craziest VMA Moments in History

Some of the biggest names in hip-hop - Drake, Eminem, Kanye West, Wiz Khalifa and Childish Gambino - are also competing for best hip-hop video.

But, before any of the "Moonman" awards are given out, the stars will make their way on the red carpet. It's always exciting to see who's dressing up, who's dressing down and who's dressing is just out of control. The latter definitely goes for stars like Lady Gaga, who wore a dress full of meat at the 2010 VMAs, and Nicki Minaj, who showed up in a sheer black and red body suit at the 2012 awards.

Charli XCX (she's featured on Iggy Azalea's Fancy) and Fifth Harmony will also get the party started with performances at the pre-show.

Watch every moment via the live stream here before the MTV Video Music Awards start at 9/8c on MTV.
