With
host, Russell Brand, The 2012 MTV Movie Awards were a huge hit last night, June
3rd. With categories raging from Best Gut-Wrenching Performance to Best
On-Screen Dirt bag, millions of viewers sat on their couches anxious to find
out whether their favorite movie or actor would win the award they were
nominated for. The nominees were announced May 1, and were voted on by fans and
a panel of MTV executives.
“The
Hunger Games” and “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn-Part 1” were two movies
that were battling for the top spot in 6 categories. “Hunger Games” walked away
with 4 awards and “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn-Part 1” with 2 awards. “Bridesmaids”
was also a movie that was nominated in multiple categories, winning 2 awards.
The MTV
Generation Award, the highest honor MTV gives out, was awarded to Johnny Depp
for his years and years of contribution to the film industry. Depp then grabbed
his guitar and joined The Black Keys on stage for a rendition of Gold On The Ceiling. MTV also added a
new award this year, The Trailblazer Award, which was awarded to Emma Stone for
becoming so successful in Hollywood at such an early age.
