The 2009 MTV Movie Awards: Does Anyone Care?
As you might have heard, the MTV Movie Awards were held on Sunday, May 31. But the real question is: why does anyone actually care? This charade is nothing more than a mere popularity contest where the latest fads are put on a pedestal so teenagers can show that even mediocre and horrible movies can get their fair share of awards. In case you are wondering, I did not watch the show, as I have little to no interest in anything other than a list of winners, and I had no desire to see host Andy Samberg attempt to be funny. Here is the rundown of the winners:
Best Picture: Twilight
Yeah, sure, “Twilight” was so much better than “The Dark Knight,” “Iron Man,” and “Slumdog Millionaire.” I was one of the few who weren’t all too enthralled by “Slumdog,” but I still liked it a little bit. But to say “Twilight” of all movies was the best picture of the year is insane. The movie is nothing but contrived romance between a toothless vampire and the most boring and uninteresting female protagonist I’ve ever seen. The only other contender I neglected to mention is “High School Musical 3,” which I have not seen nor do I wish to see.
