The MTV Movie Awards show is not exactly the Oscars. In terms of classiness, it’s not even the Golden Globes or the People’s Choic Awards.
The annual, decidedly silly ceremony — which airs live tonight at 9 ET on MTV — involves handing out popcorn bucket trophies in such illustrious categories as Best Scared-as-[Expletive] Performance and, more importantly, relentlessly promoting movies coming to a multiplex near you. It also specializes in delivering unexpected and decidedly crude TV moments carefully designed to keep MTV in the pop culturally relevant category. (Please see Sacha Baron Cohen sticking his posterior into Eminem’s face a couple of years ago. Or don’t, since it’s probably taken two years to erase that image from your brain.)
On the plus side, though, no one takes the enterprise terribly seriously, which makes it a refreshing change of pace from most awards shows. In addition to the ridiculous and potentially profane, here’s what else to expect from tonight’s event, which I’ll be live-blogging right here in Celebritology beginning at 8:30 p.m. ET.
