Glad to see Christ is finally cool enough to pick up a best actor nomination for the MTV crowd.

Hm, I'm actually going to tune into the awards this year. Anything with Jesus Christ against a pirate and a samurai along with two SNL alumnis is great.

Any awards ceremony in which "you got served" has any nominations is.... pathetic.

Quote from: MacGuffinBREAKTHROUGH MALE
Shia LaBeouf - Holes

:shock:

for the first fight scene they should've nominated the first fight in X-2.
and I think The Rock fighting the pygmies should definitely win, that fight is so intense, the choreography and the executions are both sweet.

i wonder who will accept for leatherface

its so stupid how they choose this always...

whats with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind... Kill Bill 2... Matrix Revolutions... Master and Commander... Mystic River... Big Fish... 21 Grams... The Cooler... Elf... damn there are so many movies missing and they put movies like 'You Got Served', 'Bad Boys II', 'Phone Booth'... doesnt make any fucking sense

well, keep in mind, it's MTV, which runs shows like "Pimp My Ride" and "I Want a Famous Face" it's all bullshit

funny that out of 2 matrixes, neither had an action sequence good enough to rival charlies angels or t3.  also, whats with all the 50 first dates love?  like, nobody REALLY liked the movie that much did they?  you would think something else could've gotten those spots.  who put that movie out, and are they owned by the same corporation who owns mtv?

also: they chose The Bride's and GoGo's fight over the Crazy 88 sequence.

whoa, the fights in charlie's angel 2 was ATROCIOUS, badly wired and badly choreographed and executed (and I coulda sworn sometimes they just used the dudes to double them).  T3 I can't really remember.  Matrix had people who can't move, or who are as stiff as, as triumph would say "Michael Jackson in Disney World", but at least they was well-shot and well-choreographed.  They meant well.

I'm just pleasantly surprised Bill and Scarlett were nominated.

Quote from: Chest RockwellI'm just pleasantly surprised Bill and Scarlett were nominated.

:shock:  We are talking about MTV right?

I hate in the mtv awards where some presenter or winner will give a blatant plug to their movie and try to make it non blatant "I'm not going to talk about my new movie coming out on july 20th" and then everyone laughs. It's so pathetic. Aside from the floozies, there really isn't any reason to watch any movie award show where fast and the furious wins shit. I'm suprised Lebeouf wasn't nominated for breakout female performance.

matrix got snubbed again. how are they gonna put the bad boys car chase on there and not the arguably coolest car chase ever?

blah. what do i give a shit.

Quote from: ©bradmatrix got snubbed again. how are they gonna put the bad boys car chase on there and not the arguably coolest car chase ever?

I don't know.  I guess the logic is, "Fewer people saw Bad Boys II than Reloaded.  Therefore, fewer people thought Bad Boys II sucked than thought Reloaded did."  

I'm still trying to figure out the playa hatin' on Reloaded, I really am.

Quote from: El Duderinoalso: they chose The Bride's and GoGo's fight over the Crazy 88 sequence.

yeah, that surprised me

The 2004 MTV Movie Award Winners!

It was a night to remember as MTV revealed the winners of the 2004 MTV Movie Awards. Host Lindsay Lohan of Mean Girls presided over the horror-themed festivities at the Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, CA. D12 with Eminem, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Beastie Boys gave over-the-top performances - a time-honored tradition for this star- studded event, which airs on MTV Thursday, June 10, at 9 p.m. (ET/PT).

[RESULTS SPOILERS AHEAD!]

Kill Bill Vol. 1 slayed the competition with the most wins of the night, including Uma Thurman as "Best Female Performance" and Lucy Liu as "Best Villain." Johnny Depp took home nods for "Best Male Performance" for his dynamic role as a swashbuckler in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. For the third consecutive year, Lord of the Rings took home "Best Movie," for its latest installment "The Return of the King". Lohan became the first Movie Awards host ever to win the coveted "golden popcorn" while hosting, as she picked up the "Breakthrough Female" award.

The winners are as follows:

BEST MOVIE
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (New Line Cinema)

Highlights from the show included:

The opening hip-hop dance number kicked off an evening full of surprises. Lohan showed off her dance moves along with Marques Houston and Omarion from You Got Served, playing up the fact that Lohan is the youngest MTV Movie Awards host in the show's history with Andy Richter and Rachel Dratch playing her over-protective parents.

A short film "pitch meeting" featuring Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, and Peter Jackson left the crowd in stitches, as Stiller and Vaughn tried to convince Jackson to make "Lord of the Rings 4". Interspersed throughout the show were a series of hilarious short films inspired by the upcoming Will Ferrell comedy Anchorman and Lohan's film Mean Girls. The final short film of the evening featured Andy Dick and Lohan in a campy take-off of the film Kill Bill Vol. 2.

As expected the musical performances were a heart-pounding component of the evening. The Beastie Boys were the first act to grace the stage with a hot screen video mix of their single "Ch-Check It Out." D12 with Eminem had the crowd roaring with their parody of a rock band - featuring Eminem dressed as famed Guns 'n' Roses frontman Axl Rose. In true Kill Bill fashion, D12's Bizarre dressed up as Uma Thurman's character in the film. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs performed their hit "Maps" on an incredible set, a concept by director-producer Spike Jonze.

The evening drew to a hilarious close as Kirsten Dunst appeared with Spider-Man to present the award for "Best Movie" - and Spider-Man revealed himself to be none other than Ellen DeGeneres.

In grand MTV style, the 2004 MTV Movie Awards were the end-all, be-all destination for fans of the world's biggest movie, TV, and music stars. The list of presenters included: Christina Aguilera; Kate Beckinsale; Jessica Biel; Halle Berry; Tom Cruise; Vin Diesel; Kirsten Dunst; Eve; Jimmy Fallon; Jamie Foxx; Jake Gyllenhaal; Paris Hilton; Kate Hudson; Ice Cube; Scarlett Johannson; Ashton Kutcher; Shia LaBeouf; Brittany Murphy; Thandie Newton; Matthew Perry; Queen Latifah; The Rock; Mark Ruffalo; Snoop Dogg; Sharon Stone; Marlon Wayans; and Shawn Wayans.

The 2004 MTV MOVIE AWARDS will be seen in 166 countries/territories via 42 music programming services channels, and in 18 languages in over 401.8 million households.

This is MTV.  Vapidity is par for the course.

It would have been funny if he said "your sex tape."

hehe

Completely cringe worthy.

Now that the Yeah Yeah Yeahs have performed I can stop watching it. Not even Andy Richter could save a skit. Bletch.

first 20 mins. were good. rest suuuuucked.

uma was tall/tan/drunk.

lindsay lohan, despite her beautifulness, is not host material.

d12 performance was laughably bad.

blah.

I can't believe no one's mentioned that Rebecca Romijn-Stamos looked like she was going to cry when Will Ferrell started making fun of her divorce.  The most clever editing in the world couldn't hide her glassy eyes.

it really bothered me that Lindsay Lohan won best newcomer or some shit AND hosted....the host should never win anything, or be nominated

I agree about d12's performance. It just wasn't up to snuff.

Let's see...Beastie Boys were good, Yeah Yeah Yeahs had an awesome stage, D-12 was ok, disgareed with many of the awards except the fight scene from Kill Bill (But, as stated before, it should've been the fight with the crazy 88's)...

The show lacked so much humor.  It tried so hard, too.  Paris Hilton and Lil Jon hosting the pre-show and Lindsay Lohan hosting the show?  What in God's name has happened to award shows?  

Michael Moore's plug was a bit shameless, but it was nice that someone informed the audience to vote (and not telling them who to vote for).

The guy who gave everything good reviews (which for some reason was after the actual show) that was hilarious.  I suppose it was cut out because it would make the rest of the show horrible in comparison.

Quote from: El Duderinoit really bothered me that Lindsay Lohan won best newcomer or some shit AND hosted....the host should never win anything, or be nominated

I agree.  They really sullied the reputation for honesty and commitment to truth that MTV has worked so hard to build for itself these last 23 years by giving Lohan the award.

And so did the Tonys for giving Wolverine an award.

Quote from: Slick ShoesI agree about d12's performance. It just wasn't up to snuff.

thats because D12 are terrible. they are laughably bad.

edit: i just saw the awards tonite.   man when did i get so old?  when i was 14 MTV aimed for an audience that was older than me with these things but not anymore, huh?  this was the worst year EVER.  i thought last year was bad but atleast it had a great opening and a few great skits.  the PJ skit was funny, but god that was not good enough for the opener?!   it wasnt even as funny as the charlies angels butt coach that played mid-show last year.  almost nobody AT the show was funny.  i felt embarrassed for people like tom cruise their to plug their movies at that horrible event.  it was probably fun to go to, but it was painful to watch.  beastie boys were good, but how much more boring can you get than watching rap live?  yyy's had a great set and sounded like shit.  also sucks how they were introduced so enthusiastically but had to play one of like, 2 slow songs on their album instead of being allowed to rock out.  and i abandoned the show before the final performance, but it was assuredly bad as d12 was involved.

ya, i felt some thing was missing too. D12 was pure crap.
did anyone else see that a few of the actors were wearing "Vote kerry"  t-shirts? and what was up with mike moore? i like moore, but that was out of the blue.
peace
