day 2.295

am i getting old?
that has to be it right? why else would i not enjoy the mtv movie awards? i'm usually glued to the tv watching the show, but this year i fast-forwarded through the majority of it. plus, my dvr cut off i don't know how much of the show. i just didn't find it all that enjoyable. maybe because the show used to have a lot more over lap with movies with that got real awards. the past few years it's been all about twilight and harry potter. i don't think movies adapted from mythological book series are all that new or exciting. we all know what happens because we've all read the books - or at least read the synopses on wikipedia. plus, the awards used to be hosted by household names. who the hell is aziz ansari? i know he's on parks and recreation but, let's be honest, no one is watching that show. if you're going to get someone from tv comedy to host the show, get someone from the office or the cast of modern family. and, if it has to be parks and rec, get effing amy poehler. ok, that's my rant. onto the awards.

basically, twilight won everything. here's the few twilight didn't win.

best breakout star: anna kendrick, up in the air (she finally got something for it!)
best scared-as-shit performance: amanda seyfried, jennifer's body
biggest badass star: rain, ninja assasin (who?)
best comedic performance: zach galifinakis, the hangover
best villian: tom felton, harry potter and the half-blood prince
best fight: beyonce and ali larter, obsessed (this movie was in this awards year?)
best wtf moment: ken jeong (that naked asian), the hangover
generation award: sandra bullock

bullock's acceptance speech and the night's two performances, katy perry's "california gurls" and christina aguilera basically singing her entire album, are the only parts worth watching.





(sorry for the quality, but the whole show can be seen at mtv.com)
