MTV Movie Awards: I Must Just Be Too Old
Jun 4, 2007 by Vic Holtreman
Here’s how much attention I pay to the MTV Movie Awards: I didn’t even know it aired this past weekend until I checked my usual online haunts today.
When a movie like Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest wins for best movie and Will Ferrell and Sacha Baron Cohen win an award for best onscreen kiss from Talledega Nights, I know I didn’t miss anything.
I mean I’m all for an awards show that rewards great AND popular movies instead of just the “meaningful” movies that seem to dominate the Oscars lately, but this is just a bit too much in the opposite direction for my taste. How about at least a little compromise between what made the most money and something that was actually good? I mean from the choices they had, I think 300 blows the doors of off the bloated Dead Man’s Chest.
Oh well, guess I won’t have a swarm of MTV fans hitting up Screen Rant any time soon. 
Around the web:

I’ll sum up the idiocy in 6 words.
“Best Movie You Haven’t Seen Yet”
Michael Bay took the stage and didn’t even know what to say. There’s a reason we’ve forgotten about M(arketing)TV.
I don’t think that’s a bad award, it does talk about a lot more than marketing. What is bad is “best kiss” and the random choices that seem to get awards.
What was it with the final spear throw in 300 beating all the other fight scenes? I don’t get that, and the choices for Best Film?
Yeah, the awards aren’t that strong this year and they didn’t cause the slightest flurry with me.
You and me both.
I knew the show was on but I didn’t see it and didn’t even much care for the results. I’m sure it was fun but it wasn’t on regular TV in Canada and I could really care less.
