The MTV Movie Awards mean absolutely nothing. Zero. Ziltch. Now, having said that, I have to admit that the show itself is pretty entertaining (just please for the love of all that is good and holy don’t let either Lindsay Lohan or Jimmy Fallon host the show). The Gollumn acceptance speech for Best Digital Character was television magic!

Dear Mr. Trump,
Please learn to spell before you “bitct” people out. I wish you were in house of wax so I could watch the skin fall of your trisexual face. I also wish you were in Mr.&Mrs.Smith so that Angelina could kick you in flabby testicles. Goodbye you crazy HOE-LEZ! P.S. I am glad one of is mature enough to take the high road.
Sincerely,
Coocoo Banana Breath
I LOVE the movie house of wax! Mr. and Mrs Smith…..zzz BORING BITCT ASS ANGALINA JOLIE! *Yuck* *HOE* *LEZ*
This is cool, you have to try it. I guessed 36355, and this game guessed it! See it here – http://www.funbrain.com/guess/
Best movie: 40 Year Old Virgin – John i agree with you, this movie was friggin’ hilarious. Batman Begins was OK too, though.
Best performance: Steve Carell, 40 Year Old Virgin
Best comdedic performance: Steve Carell, 40 Year Old Virgin
Best on-screen team: Same as John’s i just cant be stuffed typing it all out.
Best villian: Tobin Bell, Saw 2 – theres something about that guy that creeps me out. Maybe it’s his evil, conniving facial expressions, or maybe it’s because he tortures people as a hobby.
Breakthrough performance: I wasn’t struck on any of those, but if i had to pick one, id probably say Nelly in the longest yard. The movie still sucked though.
Best hero: Christian Bale, Batman Begins
Sexiest performance: Jessica Simpson, dukes of hazzard. the movie sucked worse than a two dollar hooker, but anyone who thinks Jessica Simpson wasn’t hot in it is either gay, or blind. John, are you sure you didnt slip Rob Schneider in yourself? :P
Best fight: Brad Pitt, angelina jolie. The idea of a husband and wife beating the shit out of each other is brilliant to me. Did you know Brad Pitt once did a stunt on Jackass??
Best kiss: Pitt, Jolie. …and straight AFTER beating the shit out of each other, they have sex thats almost as violent as their fight scene.
Best frightened performance: Dakota Fanning, war of the worlds. To me, she stole the limelight from Tom Cruise (God forbid). I just think shes the best child actor since, well, ever. But i must say if i had of watched Hostel, i probably wouldve said Derek Richardson as well.
Not a bad list.
King Kong vs. THREE T-REXES.
C’mon man. What’s up with these polls lately?!
Little known fact-MTV is owned by Viacom, which is owned by Paramount Pictures. That show is nothing more than a long commercial for Paramount’s movies. How else do you explain Napoleon Dynamite, a PARAMOUNT movie, winning for Best Movie last year? That movie is a piece of SHIT! Look and see how many Paramount movies are nominated and how many will win. A large number, I bet. They want them to win so the kids will go out and buy the DVDs and make them some money.
Follow up note: there is no Best MovieSong, yet it is MTV. Betcha they”ll give an invite to the 3 6 Mafia. Miles & Llyo : about H & F…I thought Terrance Howard was great. It also had a bit of realism, simply due that there are a few gangsta rappers -such as the late Biggie Smalls (Notorius BIG) who had come from a drug dealing/hustling/pimp lifestyle.
However, a good chunk of H & F was a bit of a disappointment: the Anthony Andersen character. Are we to believe that a staunch believer in Christianity, let alone a Baptist minister of music/chior director and says to DJ and his “girls” to ‘Watch your language/manners’ =”Respect My House”….and then all of a sudden indulge in hard gangsta rap with the common use of the n word? Then the guy’s neglected wife- a stronger religious woman- suddenly caves in and makes everyone a meal? Please!
When these elements were introduced in the film when I saw it, I thought the film was going to be really great, as there would be a character contrast. Nope. The most notable of drama and conflict was never used. It was discarded. That said, Howard still gave a really good performance. As for the tunes, why I did root for Hard Out Here For A Pimp, I liked Whoop That Trick a lot better.
-Sealer again
liyo:
i didn’t even bother watching the 50 cent movie. could it be worsethen hustle and flow? possibly.
truth be told, i would probably like it more. because, even though i hate 50 cent i am sure his movie knows it is bad and is at least marginally entertaining. the problem with hustle and flow is that it thought it was good, and it really tried to be….when in reality every single thing about it was fucking poison.
I totally agree with your choise for best onscreen team. Those guys had great chemistry. Great choice.
Sigh, with everyday that passes I drift mroe and mroe from MTV’s target audience, so I will base my pics not on opinion, but on what MTV “thinks” will appeal to there tween/teen audience wants, plus MTV is extremely liberal, so they will be all over the homo stuff, they like to pretend they step-up where the Oscars let all of us misunderstood youth down.
BEST MOVIE- Wedding Crashers
BEST PERFORMANCE- Jake Gyllenhall *cough*
BEST OMEDIC PERFORMANCE- Vince Vaughn
BEST ON-SCREEN TEAM- Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn
BEST VILLIAN- Cillian Murphy
BEST BREAKTHROUGH- Nelly *shiver*
BEST HERO- Christian Bale
SEXIEST PERFORMANCE- Jessica Alba *wince*
BEST FIGHT- Stephen Chow vs. Axe Gang
BEST KISS- Rosario Dawson and Clive Owen
BEST FRIGHTENED PERFORMANCE- Paris Hilton *cry*
Lets not forget, MTV has a tendancy to also pick winners based on who will actually come to the awards, lol

I like seeing ‘Batman Begins’, ‘Sin City’, and ‘King Kong’ fight over ‘MTV’s Best Movie’, but like last year, It may end up on ’40-Year Old Virgin’. Chritian Bale for ‘Best Hero’. Tilda Swinton for ‘Best Villain’. I think Liam Neeson (Batman Begins) wasn’t involved because he is the “mysterious villain” for the movie, and they don’t want to spoil the movie, despite the fact that the movie has been out for some time (IMO).
Hey miles, I also think H&F was a pice of shit, but the biggest pice of shit released as movie last year was 50 cent movie, get rich or die trying, FUC* THAT MOVIE!
know what i hate more then anything?
i’ll tell you.
the movie hustle and flow.
am i the only person who thought that was the biggest piece of shit released last year?
fuck, i hated everything about that movie.
except for ludacris, man do i ever like ludacris.
and the song from it that won at the oscars was a piece of garbage to.
Why did they combine best male and female performance into one category? Bullshit.
Well, let me tell you what I think of the MTV movie awards.
Bullcrap. In an effort to capture the teens and twentysomethings, they try to make themselves look cool by being airheaded.
I agree with Borloff. How can MTV folk feel that the Kong vs the plans was a better fight than Kong vs. three T Rexes? But let’s take a closer look at these lists:
*I’m happy to see 40 Yr OldVirgin get so much notice. But Not a Best Kiss ‘nomination’ between Steve Cantrell and Catherine Keener?!
*Among the action, since Transporter 2 or Unleashed isn’t there,(let alone Kong and T Rexes) hands down, the Lightsabers between Obi Wan annd Anikin/Vader wins. No other nominees need apply.
*Villians. Ciilian Murphy was great as Scarecrow. He was ***greater*** a villian in Red Eye.
If you must go for a Batman villian, where’s Liam Neeson’s Ducard/Ras Ghul? The best bad guy isn’t there. So…we go for the best bad girl, as John has done.
Breaktrough? I’d like to say Jennifer Carpenter of ‘Emily Rose’.
Nothing for ‘Upside Of Anger”, “Island”, and “Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants”…
Mickey Rourke in “Sin City” (best hero).
Now, what do I think of MTV in general?
Bullcrap.
-Sealer.
Keep it up
Kong vs. the planes for best fight?……. fuck that! …… Kong vs. the T-rexes. Now that was a fight.
