The MTV Movie Awards: More Entertaining Than We Wanted Them To Be

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

Not that we watch MTV anymore and would know, but it sounds like it proved once again to be the only thing worth keeping the network around for... below, some of the many highlights, as reported by ecstatic viewers...

1) The Mike Myers promo clips were a bit hit, especially at our sister blog, Remote Island. (We actually kind of dig the name-- then again, we were always suckers for double meanings.)  

2) Big bonus brownie points to Will Smith for admitting he hasn't always made great movies. A Hollywood actor admitting their output has been consistently inconsistent is not nearly as refreshing as if they actually were consistent, but it's still fucking wonderful to hear: "I was on this stage in 1988, so to be here today in 2008... I haven't always made great movies, but I've been trying real hard."

3) Benji Madden admitted his wacky girlfriend Paris Hilton dresses him. Easy joke: That explains a shitload, dude.

4) Seth Rogen and James Franco smoked a joint live onstage... and then, unfortunately, had to give an award to a very disturbed Robert Downey, Jr. Ouch. Here's the full clip, which was not shown on TV (the cameras cut away). This clip may not be working, although you can try this link.

5)  And Mike Myers and Dana Carvey trotted out their "Wayne's World" characters for the first time since 1993.

The duo of Myers and Dana Carvey brought their shtick up to date by goofing on the porno names of some of the year's top movies, including the giggle-inducing "Suck It List," "Gush Hour 3" and ... um, "Iron Man."

Via MTV News. Keep checking Remote Island for more on the MTV Movie Awards.
