Maybe We're Just Getting Too Old

Although we love celebrities and the whole entertainment thing, we didn't watch the MTV Movie Awards last night. No real reason, we kind of forgot about them, and doesn't it seem like they weren't really promoted this year? Anyways, from what we've heard and read, we didn't really miss much. Although the MTV awards are always wilder and kookier than the traditional awards shows, there weren't too many highlights worth talking about this year, so we've heard.

Perhaps the most talked about incident happened when a nearly naked Sasha Baron Cohen descended from the ceiling and landed on rapper Eminem. As Cohen's bare butt rubbed against Eminem's face you could hear Eminem saying, "Are you serious? Get the f--- off me!" Apparently Eminem was super pissed... so pissed in fact that he stormed out of the show. Now, we're sure that was pretty hilarious at the time (we're kind of sorry we missed that one part) but all we can hear about today is that everyone thinks it was staged. For one thing, it seemed like Eminem was miked because you could distincly hear him say "Are you serious?..." Also, there was a camera positioned perfectly in the aisle for Cohen's descent onto Eminem as well as another camera that perfectly captured Eminem storming down the aisle and out the door. Finally, show producer Mark Burnett said to Hollywoodscoop.com earlier in the day, "Eminem — It's epic tonight! It's epic!" Too bad it wasn't for real -- Eminem getting pissed off enough to leave? Classic.

All in all the night's big winner was the cast of Twilight, who took home awards for Best Fight, Best Breakthrough Performance -- Male (Robert Pattinson) and Best Movie, among others. They also previewed their hotly-anticipated new film New Moon. We have to say, it looks AWESOME! Check it out for yourselves below.

Other winners included Zac Efron and Ashley Tisdale for High School Musical 3 (big surprise there) and Miley Cyrus for her song "The Climb." Is it just us or are the MTV Movie Awards turning into Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards? Seriously though. All the winners are the same and it's not even that raunchy anymore thanks to the FCC. Maybe we're just getting too old for these kind of things.

We're definitely not too old to see New Moon this fall, however. Counting down the days!

I did watch because well I have been addicted to awards shows ever since i can remember, but I have to say it-they were horrible. I was hoping for big things from Andy Samberg, but alas, nothing.:(

Maybe I am too old to appreciate this stuff anymore!
