It's all Twilight, all the time for these MTV kids, apparently, as the 2011 version of the MTV Movie Awards came and went with more spaceman popcorn for the sundry stars attached to the franchise. It's not worth spending too large of an amount of time discussing the rewardees - it's not like anyone's going to remember who won next week, unless you're the sort of person who records themselves watching Twilight trailers and thinking people actually want to see those videos on YouTube - but essentially, if Twilight was up for a category, it probably won.
Luckily, it wasn't all Twilight, with the light of my life, Emma Stone, taking home the award for Best Comedic Performance. But then, when you're up against Adam Sandler in a movie for 40-year-olds and Ashton Kutcher, you're probably going to do all right. In more confusing news, Ellen Page won the "Best Scared-As-Shit Performance," despite being up against the girl from The Last Exorcism and Ryan Reynolds in Buried, apparently because of that one part in Inception where she gets stabbed. Really, guys? The scary part of that scene lasts like ten seconds.
Anyway, it's all pretty predictable and ludicrous - even Grown Ups won an award, for fuck's sake - but it's still somehow news that we're obligated to talk about, so click through for a complete list of winners after the break. I'm just going to go ahead and put The Twilight Saga: Eclipse into my clipboard before I type it up.
- Best Movie: The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
- Best Female Performance: Emma Stone, Easy A
- Best Female Performance: Kristen Stewart, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
- Best Scared-As-Shit Performance: Ellen Page, Inception
- Best Line From A Movie Winner: "I Want To Get Chocolate Wasted," Grown Ups
- MTV Generation Award Winner (AKA "Congrats on Turning 35, You're No Longer Relevant To Us): Reese Witherspoon
- Best Kiss: The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
- Best Fight: The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
- Best Breakout Star: Chloe Grace Moretz
- Biggest Badass Star: Chloe Grace Moretz, Kick-Ass
- Best Jaw-Dropping Moment Winner: Justin Bieber, Justin Bieber: Never Say Never
- Best Villain Winner: Tom Felton, Deathly Hallows, Part I (I mean, really? Voldemort doesn't even get a nomination?)
- Best Male Performance: Robert Pattinson, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
Jennifer Lawrence most definitely deserved the 'Best Breakout Performance' accolade. Also, what the hell am I doing reading a 'Top of 2010' list in June?!
But then again we are dealing with kids who cries when ever Twilight and Justin Bieber shows up.
these awards are so irrelevant, why do they even bother anymore?
The MTV Movie Awards are just shameful
TWILIGHT 4EVR~! Seriously though, why are these awards so late? We are literally half way through the year.. It's really sad though, because these are the movies the children of today are going to call classics when they're old.
Ugh. MTV makes me just want to hurl now. What a horrible shell of itself it has become, and that's not even on the basis of the generational gap between myself and the intended audience. It's just complete utter shit no matter how you slice it.
I feel like this awards show must take place on either another dimension, or some planet in the Andromeda galaxy. That explains the time gap. Only now are we seeing the light being given off from this intergalactic hell.
"Best Line From A Movie Winner: "I Want To Get Chocolate Wasted," Grown Ups"
god dam it i fucking hate MTV
As someone who remebered watching MTV from the beggining in 1981, it is very sad to see what it has become. Even sadder, is seeing the crap that today's youth calls entertainment. Thank goodness my young kids already have better taste.
But then you had some good moments like this:
Emma Stone's award was for "Best Comedy Performance", which she won because Twilight wasn't nominated.
EDIT: I'm sorry I know that. On the other hand, when Robert Pattinson was onstage presenting Reese Witherspoon's award he said (regarding Water for Elephants) "I got to fuck you" and the censors weren't fast enough with the bleep button. Basically the entire show was R-Patz being extremely dirty and nobody knowing what to do about it. In that sense, it was awesome.
