How does one give an award for “Movie you haven’t seen yet”? How does Blades of Glory get nominated for Best Movie? Whatever, like I said, the awards themselves are 100% nonsense and meaningless. The MTV Movie Awards show though is always entertaining to watch, and I think they seem to know all that.
