1998 MTV ''Moonman'' Video Music Award for Best Music Video Direction for Madonna's ''Ray of Light''. Jonas Akerlund directed the video, which also won Video of the Year and six more VMA's. Trophy by Manhattan Design is a sculpture-in-the-round, patterned after the channel's iconic Moonman bumper that aired at the top of the hour. Moonman's flag displays an MTV logo, perched upon the pole that twirls freely in his hand. Engraved plaque on the base reads, ''1997-1998 / Best Direction In A Video / Madonna / Ray of Light / Caresse Norman''. Norman served as manager and personal assistant to Madonna from 1997 until 2005 and was found dead at her home in 2010. Award measures 11.5'' in total height. Base diameter measures 5''. Weighs 6 pounds, 1 ounce. In very good condition, with scratching to the top of the base from Moonman figure rotating, warping to flag pole, cracking at the center of the M under Moonman's foot and bolt jutting out from the underside of the base causing statue to wobble. With provenance from Julien's.
