My Top 10 MTV Movie Award Moments

As always, the MTV Movie Awards provided a mixture of surprises, disappointments, laughter and of course, celebrities. Andy Samberg did a good job as host this year, though I’d say he didn’t have enough screen time. This is just a top 10 list of things that I will remember about the 2009 MTV Movie Awards.

1. Bruno/Eminem. Put that clip on failblog. Really? I think the question (if there’s only 1) on everyone’s mind is: was that staged? I think that it was an accident. Em’s not one who’d play along with that & that reaction was WAY too good to be pretend. I think the shock of what happened still makes me pause. I didn’t breathe until Zac got up there. I thought for sure he’d punch him out or something. Priceless.

2. “New Moon” peek. That trailer looked amazing. It’s gonna blow “Twilight” out of the water. For real. I’m a Twilight-er but I thought Hardewick could’ve done better on the first one. This one, however, already looks amazing. I can’t wait!

3. The Drop & Pop. Kristen Stewart won an award for Best Female Performance (though she wasn’t my top pick for it). She won, was awkwardly rambling on (as she’s prone to do), and she…DROPS the popcorn award! I’m pretty sure it bounced back up. Amazing. Pop: that’s Rob Pattinson. I say that because he popped off the screen. Gorgeous, even awkward & uncomfortable.

4. Zachary Quinto. Is it just me or does the camera love him? For at least the first 30 minutes of the show the camera was on him and his smiling face. Idk about everyone else, but I could look at that man forever. Thanks MTV for making it easier.

5. Ben Stiller. Well, I’m glad he got the award. He deserves some recognition–and who better to do it than MTV? However, I will say that the intro ruined it. It was awkward and fake and the actors were doing a poor job acting. (Actually, they struggled w/intros a lot this year.) And then Sutherland staying there with him like that…I wasn’t sure if Stiller was excited or not. He looked annoyed, but then, who am I to say? Congrats, Ben.

6. HBP clip. It looks promising. I think that this HP has the potential to be the best one yet. Everything about this movie screams awesome. I think the clip reminded everyone why HP is sticking around…and gives us all something else to cling to while the days tick away slowly toward the release!

7. Jim Carrey? I thought, at the beginning, that he was genuinely surprised. But then, of course he wasn’t. While the “speech” was hilarious and kept me laughing, I thought Anna Farris (or hey, even James Franco) was robbed.  Either of them deserved to win that comedy award. “Yes Man” was not a good movie, unless you never saw “Liar Liar.”

8. Samberg: Song Medley & Film Parodies. The best video was def the opening parody. I also really liked the one he did w/Ferrel about the bombs. They were entertaining.  And how about that song?  That was the most ridiculous medley ever. I’ll never forget it.(I’ll also never forget Miley Cyrus yelling “I’m on a boat.” That was not her best, though I am glad she won.) Samberg was a good host.

9. Kings of Leon. The performers this year were not that amazing. However, I am a fan of KoL. I heard them a while back when my friend James introduced me. It was good to see a lesser known play on MTV. Ironic, b/c they used to be the channel that got those underground bands famous.

10. Twilight. Like it or not, this is a fan show. It’s a popularity contest. The outrageous number of Twilight wins reveals that the viewers on MTV have changed a ton. I think that MTV should’ve considered it a little more. I definitely didn’t think that it deserved the Best Movie award. I mean, “The Dark Knight”– where was that win? (I was also sad that they didn’t do something for Heath Ledger. He won the award for Best Villian and they mentioned in a voice-over. That was disappointing.) Anyway, it was definitely the Twilight Awards. If you don’t believe me, go back and look at my list…

All in all, it was a good show. I was entertained. Until next year, MTV…..
