 Justin Timberlake won video of the year at Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards, capping off a night full of memorable moments for the singer.

Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone, Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez and Lance Bass of *NSYNC perform during the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards in Brooklyn, N.Y.

                                  
Timberlake's performance and the *NSYNC reunion took over the awards ceremony, wrestling the spotlight away from a rehabilitated Lady Gaga, an X-rated Miley Cyrus and a vengeful Taylor Swift with a medley of hits and the reunion of his former boy band.

Dressed in a black suit and black hat with a red feather, Timberlake powered through a breathless series of solo hits before the other four members of *NSYNC -- JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone, and Lance Bass -- joined him on stage for a brief rendition of "Girlfriend" and "Bye Bye Bye."

Timberlake -- the night's top nominee, tied with Macklemore & Ryan Lewis -- also was given the Vanguard Award by Jimmy Fallon, who hailed his pal as the "president of pop."
"I don't deserve the award, but I'm not going to give it back," Timberlake said. "I'm taking this home."

He then thanked his *NSYNC band mates. "Half of the moonmen I've ever won, I won with those four guys right there," Timberlake said pointing at them while holding his trophy. "So above all else, I'm going to share this -- we can keep it my house -- but I'm going to share this award with them."The 32-year-old entertainer won the top honor for "Mirrors"
 

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis were the night's top winners, taking home best hip-hop video for "Can't Hold Us" and best video with a social message for "Same Love," a marriage equality anthem. Other winners included Taylor Swift, One Direction, Bruno Mars, Selena Gomez and Thirty Seconds to Mars.
