MTV Movie Awards

There is one word to describe the MTV Movie Awards :: AWKWARD!

Russell Brand's hosting was extremely uncomfortable to watch, from his joke about orgasmic erections because of Justin Bieber to his joke referencing his divorce from Katy Perry. He just seemed completely unsure of himself on his stage, proof of the very little audience response to his not-so-funny stand up.

The Hunger Games (2012), The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 (2011), and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011) dominated the award ceremony, unfortunately not allowing other great movies like Bridesmaids (2011) and Crazy, Stupid, Love. (2011) from getting their due recognition. After awhile, I gave up on wishing any other movie would win an award.

Despite the awkwardness and the on-going, predictable winning recipients of the awards, there were some truly brilliant moments at the MMAs. For one, Emma Stone KILLED it! She one was of the few celebrities that got on stage and delivered her lines cleverly and without trying too hard. Lol I actually laughed! She also received the 1st Annual Trailblazer Award which I feel was most deserving. She is funny, talented, and genuine, and if any up and coming artists (actors, musicians, comedians, etc.) need someone to look up to then I think she's perfect for it.

Johnny Depp also received the MTV Generation Award. Another much deserved recipient! Joe Perry and Steven Tyler presented Depp the award after he rocked out on stage with The Black Keys. The collage of film footage that was created to show over two decades of brilliant work was awe-inspiring. Johnny Depp has played roles that are wild, unpredictable, unconventional, and borderline psychotic! I think he is inspiration to all artists who dare to take chances and express themselves creatively.

Did you watch the MMAs last night? If you did, then lemme know what you thought of it!
