"Hunger Games" scoops up four MTV movie awards
- 12 years ago
"The Hunger Games" scored at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday (June 03), sweeping four categories in what proved to be a tame evening at the typically outrageous awards show.
But the coveted movie of the year trophy, voted for by the audience online throughout the show, went to "The Twilight Saga - Breaking Dawn: Part 1."
SOUNDBITE Kristen Stewart saying (English):
"I've been promoting 'Snow White,' and I get asked a lot of questions, especially about 'Twilight,' which I love, and the most common one is 'you must be so happy to get away from it, you must be so happy to distance yourself as far away as you possibly can,' and I'm like 'shut up! What are you talking about,' so yeah, no, this really means a lot, and we've been here for a while, so really, thank you very much."
The night's more irreverent categories such as best on-screen dirtbag went to "Horrible Bosses" star Jennifer Aniston for her role as a foul-mouthed dentist, and best kiss went to "Twilight" leads Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson for the fourth year in a row.
Host Russell Brand, known for his raunchy antics, played up his cockney accent and launched into jokes about his short-lived marriage to singer Katy Perry.
His barbs were also directed at pop star Justin Bieber, Charlie Sheen, John Travolta, and Kanye West.
SOUNDBITE Russell Brand saying (English):
"I admire Kanye a lot, his drunken stage invasion at the last MTV awards show that I hosted took a lot of pressure off me. Like watching someone else get in trouble at school. I owe you one Kanye. And Kim took a load of pressure off me with her world record quick marriage. I just hope that the two of them do a new sex tape. Yeah, I think we'd like that. I think of Kim Kardashian as the Stanley Kubrick of sex tapes. They're always brilliant but she only does one a decade."
"Spiderman" actress Emma Stone was given the Trailblazer award and "Dark Shadows" actor Johnny Depp was presented the 2012 Generation Award which he celebrated by performing on stage with the Black Keys.
