Oscar Moralde from '' Slant Magazine '' complimented the production of the video by calling it " visually stunning " , while adding that " ' Judas ' is the work of a repertory , not a revolutionary . It takes familiar swatches from Gaga 's palette ( the leather-and-chain aesthetic of " Telephone " ; the plaintive , tear-stained camera stare of " Bad Romance " ) and puts them all together for a competently executed work . " Phil Fox Rose , while reviewing the video for '' The Washington Post '' , gave it a positive review stating that he found it " moving , both artistically and spiritually . " He then went on to explain how the religion related accusations against Gaga were completely biased . VH1 found that the video was inspired by Madonna 's " Like a Prayer " , the films '' Our Lady of the Assassins '' , '' The Wild Angels '' and '' Romeo Juliet '' , and the American television series '' Lost '' . '' NME '' named ' Judas ' the fourth worst music video ever , describing it as " an attempt to jump on the Madonna/Catholicism bandwagon that so incredibly misjudged it 's quite comical . " At the 2011 MuchMusic Video Awards , Gaga won the Best International Artist Video award for " Judas " . The song 's music video also received two nominations at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards , in the categories of Best Choreography and Best Art Direction ; however , the video won neither at the award show , losing to Beyoncé Knowles ' " Run The World ( Girls ) " in Best Choreography , and Adele 's " Rolling in the Deep " in Best Art Direction
