2008 MTV Movie Awards

A wee bit late, but i'm going to write about it anyway. You know how i feel about Awards, awkward and proceed with caution, as always, because to let others tell you what's good and deserved the award and what's not is really not my cup of tea. Especially one from MTV which i personally chose to detached myself from, sometime in 1997-1998. I mean, with ridiculous award such as "Best Summer Movies So Far" and all, it's rather hard to take MTV Movie Awards more seriously than it should be. It's a joke anyway, and should be treated as such.

Anyway, the main interest of the MTV Movie Awards, at least for me, is always the sketches between the awards announcement. Anne Hathaway is so Oh-My-God-Beautiful. How could a woman be so very captivating? I mean, look at that skin! *inhales-exhales*. And Jhonny Depp! A scene stealer! Just wow! 21 Jump Street all over again? Wow! No wonder those girls couldn't stop from screaming. And then there's Wayne's World reunion for the first time (perhaps) since 1994, Coldplay performing their next single, and Ellen Page who looked very small and innocent amidst Charlize Theron, Jason Bateman and Will Smith. But boy, for a girl who just turns 20 she nailed the acceptance speech way better than her peers. And then my favorite sketch of the night, Adam Stiller, Robert Downey Jr. and Jack Black promoting Tropic Thunder (the best part, "It'll do until The Dark Knight comes out"). And that comprised all the best moments in the ceremony for me. Roughly a third of duration.


As an afterthought, it might be a bit too early, but i'm gonna be bold as to say that Robert Downey Jr. would had a very memorable year. I might going as far as to name him as my personal best Entertainer of the year. His Iron Man was clearly a phenomenal, and he'd be back later this year with Tropic Thunder with Ben Stiller, and everybody who seen his sketch with Ben Stiller and Jack Black in the last American Idol finale a couple of weeks ago should agreed that he could be hilarious without doing much. And if his sketch to promote Tropic Thunder with Jack Black and Ben Stiller in the show is of any indication, he looked very comfortable in the role, and more importantly, clearly having fun with it.

As for the award winner itself? It's comprehensive list should be easily obtainable elsewhere.
