Live tweets make every award show bearable better, and the MTV VMAs, with all of their faux and sometimes genuine controversy-bait, is one of Music Twitter's super bowls.

Here's a recap of the best e-commentary during tonight's Cyrus-anchored shitshow, including some spectacular shade from Justin Timberlake.
