These people do know they're on TV right? I wish they would either ban the F word outright (like a real awards show), or just air it uncensored. Because censoring every third word is just annoying.

She may have liked kissing a girl, but Snoop shows the crowd the real way to Katy Perry's heart.

So, to me, it sounded like Aziz was channeling Chris Rock in his opening monologue (or skit, whatever). Otherwise, I think he did alright.
I've already got California Girls stuck in my head. It's catchy...kinda.
I don't find the Les Grossman character that funny.
Indeed.

Eh. Girls were hot at least.

Themes of yesterday's show (including commercials):
1. Cursing is so cool.
2. USA needs kids to stay in school so that they cannot find jobs when they graduate college.
3. USA needs kids to study cooking.
4. the acne that you have is not due to the junk food or poor diet that you may have.
5. Don't bully nerds because they probably have bigger penises than you.

Sorry but the best thing about last night was Tom Cruise as Les Grossman, I might as well avoid watching this for the next two years because Twilight will win everything.

I really felt bad for the cast of Grown-Ups doing that stupid bit about "studying the grown ups." Especially Chris Rock, that's not his type of humor at all.

Just finished watching the twilight awards.. I thought Aziz did a good job as host. I really expected Tom Cruise's stuff as Les to be bad, but they were real entertaining, especially the dance w/ j-lo . oh yea, and katy perry looked absolutely STUNNING! Everytime I see Russel Brand I question life and wonder how someone like him ends up w/ someone like her.
The awards were a complete joke, I dont understand why ppl take these seriously. It's not like when you pick up a movie off the shelf its gonna say "Starring MTV Movie Award Winner so-and-so."

PTC Says Teen-Targeted MTV Movie Awards and “Hard Times” Prove Need for Cable Choice
LOS ANGELES (June 7, 2010) – The Parents Television Council™ says families were assaulted by graphic content on the MTV Music Awards and the premiere of “The Hard Times of R.J. Berger,” which followed the awards. The PTC issued a call for cable choice in light of these shows.
The MTV Music Awards included many unbleeped f-words and s-words along with lewd performances, and “Hard Times” featured content focused on a high school male’s genitalia and included other sexual content such as masturbation and a foursome along with bleeped explicit language.
“Families were assaulted by the content found on the MTV Music Awards and on ‘Hard Times’ and we should not have to pay for this kind of filth on our cable bills – especially since it’s targeted directly towards our children,” said PTC President Tim Winter.
“The content seems to be precisely what MTV is intending for its awards show to be, based on the history of the show and how they market and produce the show. Every year it gets more explicit and that is clearly by design. One needs to look no further than the name of the awards being given. It is outrageous that MTV would air verbal napalm like this at 9pm ET/PT, 8pm CT/MT. Such a timeslot demonstrates MTV’s intention to market this material to children.
“The fact that both programs were rated as appropriate for 14-year-olds demonstrates the lack of any serious regard Viacom or MTV have for the television content ratings system. A movie with the same amount of profanity as on both shows would (or at least should) garner an R-rating. If Viacom intends for the V-chip to be of any practical use for parents and families, then the Music Awards and ‘Hard Times’ should have been rated TV-MA.
“It is morally contemptible – and probably illegal – that Viacom is able to force cable subscribers to pay them a monthly subscription fee to produce such a program. By our estimates, approximately 80 cents out of every American’s cable/satellite bill goes to MTV each and every month. That is adds up to almost one billion dollars every year. These are prima facie examples of what’s wrong with consumers being forced to pay for a cable network bundle. If we can pick up the phone and subscribe to HBO, why aren’t we able to pick up the phone and unsubscribe to MTV? If there were a free marketplace for networks like MTV, tens of millions of homes would be cutting that network off their system today.”

I kept channel surfing even when it wasn't on commercial. Glad I saw the Les Grossman/J-Lo dance. And Ken Jeong's acceptance speech was surprisingly moving.

You want cable choice? Fine. Just don't come complaining to me when your bill hits $500 a month because not enough people subscribed to certain channels and the cable company had to pass along rate increases.
How does the PTC know that tens of millions would cancel MTV? You can't cancel it, but you can call the cable company and have it blocked. I know, because my dad and step-mom had it blocked at their house.
I really wish these sexually repressed, stuck in and want to go back to the 1950's religious nutbags would shut up and stop trying to impose their extremely limited worldview on everyone else.

Has the The Parents Television Council even looked at MTV's programming from morning to night? There's nothing appropriate. Aren't they aware of the option on their tvs to skip the MTV channel when surfing through the channels? They don't even need the V-chip.

My girls can't watch MTV and they never ask to. I'm not sure why other parents can't parent and then blame their cable company or the channel.

that would be against society's social norm. You don't have to parent anymore. You just wait for your child to screw up and then you blame someone or some institution and then sue them.
