Miley Cyrus went the sentimental route last night and when she won for Video of the Year -- the biggest award of the night -- instead of tooting her own horn, the "Wrecking Ball" singer let a boy Jesse take the podium to spread awareness to youth homelessness.
Cyrus, 21, posted pictures with Jesse all night and after the show, the two went to In-N-Out Burger to celebrate.
