Based on the vapid viewing audience and voters I'm sure Juno will win in all it's categories.
I never watch this shit anymore. |

I'm sure the Apatow stuff will do some sweeping that night. |
Of the 29 flicks receiving nominations, I've seen three so I'm in no way upset by this corporation's nominations. I'm just not their target audience.

Considering that the MTV Movie Awards are meant to appeal to the "tween" audience, I think they suceeded in doing what they set out to do.
On the other hand its funny to see a movie award show where Never Back Down has more nominations than There Will Be Blood :lol: |
Never back Down sucked b@lls
|
:lol:
That was amusing... |
Juno, Knocked Up and Superbad were good movies that were fairly popular and Transformers is seemingly well liked. No real surprise there.
Sure it isn't a total collection of great flicks, but it could have been worse, very easily. It's a show that awards popular movies, those movies were popular, go figure. It's the MTV Movie Awards, what'd you expect. |

The MTV Awards aren't meant to be taken seriously, they're there so their audience can see movie spoofs, have some live music, and see a few celebrities. |
To be perfectly honest, the MTV movie awards are a lot more fun than the other awards show. None of it is really taken too seriously, and that's a nice alternative.

Bardem did win the Oscar.

What does Music Televison (that plays no music) have to do with Movies?
|
whats sad is when i was younger (like 11 or 12)... i used to think the oscars were lame and mtv's movie awards were awesome. now it's pretty much the opposite. though i do have mtv to thank for introducing me to BOTTLE ROCKET.

They're funny as always, but at least Ellen Page will deserve to win this time.
