I taped the MTV Movie Awards and I’m glad I did because being able to fast forward through annoying comedy clips and The Pussycat Dolls was wonderful.
I had read on the Johnny Depp Zone that Depp received 2 golden popcorn awards so I was able to search for those moments and replay again.
Winning Best Comedic Performance for Pirates 3, and Best Villain for Sweeney Todd the crowd went wild each time he accepted his popcorn trophy. Jon Voight and Tila Tequila seemed equally excited to see him on stage. This guy causes everyone to swoon regardless of age, gender, or talent.

Tom Cruise introduced Adam Sandler as the man, and the icon, but his self proclaimed arrogant performance including Solid Gold style dancers didn’t do much for me. The dancers were intriguing but Sandler’s singing bores me after about 2 minutes. He’s the kind of comedian that you love or don’t like too much. I guess that’s me, nothing against him, he’s just not that funny when he’s playing guitar. Did I tell you how much I love my Replay TV fast forward button?

Mike Myers promo of “I am Hollywood” was a cool idea and the return of Wayne’s World was accepted with a standing ovation. America really is in need of entertainment. I was a Wayne’s World fan in the 90’s but I’m not convinced I would have jumped up so quickly and with such enthusiasm as the audience did. Maybe you had to be there to feel the energy. Myers and Carvey seemed comfortable with their old characters. The third film idea must be floating out there somewhere. Party on Wayne and party on Garth!

I did like the clip from Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr., and Ben Stiller, their funny, over the top and gory fake blood scene at the end was entertaining. Check out MTV for the clip called Tropic Thunder Viral Video.

Lindsay Lohan, on stage with P. Diddy, and Mini-Me actor Verne Troyer was irritating rather than interesting. I don’t think P. Diddy’s repetitive line “Yes we can!” helped Obama or Oprah very much. Overall, the exciting moments were dulled a bit by the idea of trying hard to be unique and cool at the same time. There were some highlights I found amusing, mostly seeing Johnny Depp’s Public Enemies hair style and finding out he has a new tattoo was enough for this Depp fan. Overall I hit fast forward for the majority of the show. I’m having fun browsing through the extras on MTV.com, blogs, pics, and the schmoozing celebs back stage clips. You can watch the show in it’s entirety on MTV.com if you didn’t get a chance to fast forward via TIVO or other such helpful device. Maybe I’m too old for the MTV Movie Awards. Anyone know when VH1 has theirs?

On Sunday, June 1st live at 8:00 PM ET we’ll find out who takes home the gold popcorn. MTV’s Movie Awards show is probably the most entertaining of all the awards ceremonies. Celebs usually dress in their coolest garb, sometimes getting a bit flashier than they should, but that adds to the entertaining part for us viewers.

The popcorn is not the only thing golden, check out the guest list. Charlize Theron, Robert Downey Jr., Sarah Jessica Parker, Will Smith, Megan Fox, Brendan Fraser, Jack Black, Coldplay, and even a rumor floating around that Johnny Depp will be a presenter. This is one of those rumors most likely started by someone who understands how to get people to tune in. Marketing ploy or not, I’ll be tuning in just to see if it’s true. See how good that works?

Mike Myers will be the host, and I assume he’ll be plugging his upcoming film The Love Guru.

This year, Adam Sandler receives the MTV Generation Award being honored as a comic legend. Is he really that old already?

The difference between the MTV awards and other ceremonies isn’t just the cool people who show up, or the younger audience. They have categories like Best Kiss and Best Fight that we’d never see on other more grown up awards. I have a love/hate relationship with these ceremonies. I love looking at the celebs walking the red carpet like a runway, waving to the fans and being caught off cue by reporters. I hate the fact that there are a bazillion awards shows now so if you miss one there is probably another one on next week. How much recognition do these people need?

The MTV Movie Awards has some outrageous moments on the red carpet, on stage and off. I like the movie parodies they come up with like this one starring The Partridge Family cast doing a spoof on Speed. Remember that one from 1994 starring Keanu Reeves? Did you know Johnny Depp turned that roll down? Maybe that’s just a rumor too.
