MTV Movie Awards

The MTV Movie Awards is an annual film awards show presented once a year on MTV. The first MTV Movie Awards was launched in 1992. Of all the film awards, the MTV Movie Awards is basically all hype and all glamour. Most of the films presented at this award show is basically movies that would never make it through respectable film festivals such as Cannes, Venice, Berlin, Sundance, Slamdance, and Toronto.

In short, the MTV Movie Awards is basically a parody of all film festivals. They focus too much on the hype, sex, and glamour that all respectable film festivals sway away from. Recently, this year's Sundance Film Festival veered away from the glamour in order to preserve its main purpose which is film.

Of course, MTV Movie Awards do have entertainment purposes such as skits and various spoofs. But the spoofs are losing its effect. They're very much not as funny as the spoofs at the MTV Movie Awards of the nineties. In its own right, it's very different fro the Oscars and the Golden Globes.

There are no juries in the MTV Movie Awards. Instead, winners are picked by the public. Meaning the public gets to vote. Mainly the best comedic actors and the "hottest" stars will act as the hosts of the MTV Movie Awards. Jack Black and Sarah Michelle Gellar co-hosted one of them. Lindsay Lohan hosted another. And Sarah Jessica Parker co-hosted another.

Though MTV Movie Awards nowadays award total garbage, it is the best place to acknowledge promising films with little acclaim at the Oscars and Golden Globes. They focus on movies popular at the box office.

Without the MTV Movie Awards comedies wouldn't be representated. Without the MTV Movie Awards, great films like Borat wouldn't be rightfully acknowledged. If you can look beyond the hype and glamour, you can see that MTV has put forth a lot of hard work in the entertainment aspect.

So far, it's the only movie awards ceremony with live entertainment. Also, the rewards are in the form of a popcorn cut with gold popcorn. Each MTV Movie Award has their own set of very entertaining surprises and spoofs. The opening of each ceremony is worth the watch, too.
