Logo's fourth annual "NewNowNext Awards" returned to Los Angeles in a live spectacle hosting celebrities, pop culture phenomena and tomorrow's next big things.
Hosted by James Van Der Beek, the Company said the show honored Lady Gaga with the esteemed "Always Next, Forever Now Award" and featured musical performances by Robyn, Panic! at the Disco, Oh Land and Wynter Gordon.
According to a release, the "NewNowNext Awards" 2011 partied away at The Avalon in downtown Los Angeles last night led by Master of Ceremonies James Van Der Beek. The show's spirit immediately broke through with an opening performance paying tribute to New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys (nominees and winners of this year's "Best New Indulgence" category) performed by the drag queens of "RuPaul's Drag Race" as the "Backstreet Girls" and "New Queens on the Block." The evening continued to provide the audience with the important "musts" of all award shows: sex appeal and glamour from Joe Manganiello and Carmen Electra, appearances by musicians including Adam Lambert and moments from Ross Matthews and Perez Hilton .
Additionally, the live performances were a major highlight of the night. Keeping the crowd jumping and a balcony of over 300 fans screaming were live performances by Panic! At The Disco ("The Ballad of Mona Lisa"), Wynter Gordon ("Dirty Talk"), Oh Land ("Sun of a Gun") and Robyn (who performed her new single "Call Your Girlfriend").
The evening reached its most anticipated moment with Lady Gaga receiving the "Always Next, Forever Now" award presented by past recipient Paula Abdul. Lady Gaga received the award remotely.
Logo noted that the show featured presenters including by Adam Lambert, Paula Abdul, Carmen Electra, Joey McIntyre (New Kids on the Block), A.J. McLean (Backstreet Boys), Jonathan Knight (New Kids on the Block), Brittany Snow ("Harry's Law"), Busy Phillips ("Cougar Town"), Perez Hilton, Aubrey O'Day ("All About Aubrey"), Keegan Allen and Torry DeVitto ("Pretty Little Liars"), RuPaul, George Kotsiopolous ("Fashion Police"), Kim Coles, Lisa Lampanelli, Sara Rue ("Shedding for the Wedding"), Gretchen Rossi ("The Real Housewives of Orange County"), Lisa Vanderpump ("The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills") and Josh Kilmer-Purcell and Brent Ridge ("The Fabulous Beekman Boys").
