MTV Movie Awards

Normally I avoid MTV. I don't feel the need to explain my reasons, I'm sure most of you can figure it out. But I must say, they do know how to do an awards show right. The Oscar's (I mistakenly worte Emmys before, but this holds true for most all awards) are too stuffy and full of themselves. The MTV Moive Awards on the other hand don't take them selves too seriously. They actually have entertaining categories and acts (like this fantastic performance by Gnarls Barkley).

And best of all is their Best Movie award. To be the best movie of a year you don't have to be an overly serious drama, you just need to be good and entertaining. Munich, Brokeback Mountain, Crash, and all, sure they're good movies, but what about the others? Who did MTV have? Wedding Crashers, Sin City, 40 Year Old Virgin, King Kong. And while I don't agree with Wedding Crashers winning (it was basically Vince Vaughn's fantastic performance carrying an otherwise sub-par movie; 40 Year Old Virgin, or possibly Sin City, would have gotten my vote), I have to aplaud them for at least nominating movies the common people actually liked.

And who will it be next year? Snakes On A Plane. It has to be, Sameul L. Jackson garunteed it. And when Jackson speaks, your ass better listen.

Comments

I agree, I think the MTV Movie Awards are way more fun and interesting to watch!

One thing though - the Emmy Awards are for television, the Academy Awards (the Oscars) are for movies.
