Janet Jackson was honoured with the Icon Award and used her acceptance speech to express her support for women who "have made it clear we will no longer be controlled, manipulated or abused".
"I am deeply humbled and grateful for this award. I feel that for all the challenges, all of our challenges, we live at a glorious moment in history," said the 52-year-old.
"It's a moment when at long last women have made it clear that we will no longer be controlled, manipulated or abused.
"I stand with these women and with those men who are equally outraged by discrimination, who support us in heart and mind."
Singer Kelly Clarkson used her role as host to call for action on gun control in the wake of the Santa Fe High School shooting in which 10 people were killed.
"Once again we are grieving for more kids that have died for just absolutely no reason at all," said the mother- of-four.

"And tonight they wanted me to say that, obviously we're going to pray for the victims and pray for their families, but they also wanted me to do a moment of silence.
"And I'm so sick of moments of silence. It's not working. So why don't we not do a moment of silence? Why don't we do a moment of action? A moment of change?"
