MTV Movie Award Winners + Eminem gets tea-bagged by Brüno


The results of the MTV Awards have just been announced and I thought I'd post the winners for the five people who have any interest (looking at you Robert Pattinson). The tween voters were out in force, giving Twilight and Highschool Musical 3 a total of seven statues between them (I weep for the future of mankind). I didn't watch the awards so I can't tell you what the ceremony was like, although I've heard reports that Andy Samberg did a good job hosting. Posted below are all the winners; I'm not going to be writing a full length sarcastic rant for each award, but aside from Heath Ledger's inevitable win for best villain, the following rule seems to apply: every decision is wrong. But what can you expect? They voters were MTV viewers.

Just before I get to winners, I would like to share this one clip of Sasha Baren Cohen presenting the award for Best Male Performance. I'm not going to say anything about it...the video sort of speaks for itself.


Obviously the tech guys knew what was going to happen, but I get the impression that Eminem wasn't in on the joke. I also like the expression of annoyance on Zac Efron's face as he gets completely upstaged.

But now, the moment you've all been waiting for...the winners of the MTV Movie Awards! The winners are italicised...I thought about putting my preferences in red, but then I realised I just didn't care.
