The 2008 MTV Movie Awards

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.
