ROTTEN TOMATOES: 2006 MTV Movie Award Winners!

2006 MTV Movie Award Winners!

by Scott Weinberg | June 05, 2006

I was going to try to avoid the MTV Movie Awards winners until the broadcast on June 8th, but since we at RT like to bring you the movie news while it's still relevant ... OK, here they are!

"In an evening filled with action, mystery, music and hijinks, MTV rolled out the carpet to welcome the stars and celebrities for Hollywood's most anticipated blockbuster, the "2006 MTV Movie Awards." Hosted by the incomparable Jessica Alba, the fifteenth annual ceremony celebrated everything the movies have to offer, and honored those performances and films voted best by the MTV audience. The night also was witness to heart-stopping and eye-popping performances by Christina Aguilera, Gnarls Barkley and AFI.

The complete "2006 MTV Movie Awards" ceremony can be seen Thursday, June 8th beginning at 8:30pm ET/PT with the official MTV News pre-show, followed by the main show at 9pm ET/PT on MTV. The ceremony can also be relived and remixed for a completely customized Movie Awards experience immediately following the on-air debut by visiting "My Movie Awards" at MovieAwards.mtv.com. There fans can also visit the complete Movie Awards online hub for complete access to the show online and through wireless technology.

"Wedding Crashers" reigned supreme at the event, winning the coveted golden popcorn for "Best Movie," as well as "Best On-Screen Team" honors to Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, and "Breakthrough Performance" to newcomer Isla Fisher. Others winners of the evening included Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie who won "Best Fight" for their performance in "Mr. & Mrs. Smith"; Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger who won "Best Kiss" for "Brokeback Mountain"; Steve Carell took home "Best Comedic Performance" for "The 40-Year-Old Virgin"; Hayden Christensen won the "Best Villain" award for "Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith"; and host Jessica Alba won "Sexiest Performance" for her role in "Sin City."

Jim Carrey once again created MTV Movie Awards history and one of the most memorable moments of the night as he accepted the esteemed "MTV Generation Award" presented by Will Ferrell. Recognizing him for his dynamic career and acting roles that have captured and entertained MTV audiences for years, Carrey accepted the award in true comedic fashion, with 60 angels by his side. Spike Lee was also honored at the event, receiving the "Silver Bucket Of Excellence Awards" from LL Cool J for his powerful and thought-provoking film "Do The Right Thing."

Joshua filmed his Movie Awards experience, and will debut the finished product on mtvU and mtvU Uber (mtvU.com) on Monday, June 12th.

Other memorable moments throughout the evening included the laugh-at-loud film parodies of "King Kong," "The Da Vinci Code," and "Mission: Impossible III." Starring host Jessica Alba, each film featured its own special guests including Jimmy Fallon, Topher Grace, Andy Dick, Flavor Flav and Gary Cole.

This night also featured standout musical performances. Gnarls Barkley took the stage in full "Star Wars" apparel to perform their hugely popular single, "Crazy."

Jake and Heath best kiss? Was there not a good girl on girl kiss?

Got Breakout Performance dead right. Isla Fisher rocked.

Paris Hilton should've won Best Frightened Performance, but whatever...

Great to hear they found an excuse to give an award to Jim Carrey, he understands the show is a joke and always brings the funny.

selma blair and gellar.- not salma hayek. if that was salma hayek that kiss would have been a much bigger deal because salma hayek is one of the most gorgeous women in entertainment

Wow...I actually agree with some of the awards - Carell, Bale. Scary.
"Golden Bucket" - I wonder if that will ever be visible within Spike's house.
Alba can't act sexy to save her life.
The best villain award to Scrub Darth is the biggest joke of the awards by far.

[b]Awesome for Brokeback![/b]
For once there are actually some good winners! The MTV Awards are usually a big joke, but I was going to watch this year just for [b]Brokeback[/b]'s noms. To my surprise it actually won in both categories it was nominated in. I can't believe that the MTV Movie Awards are giving awards to actual great films for once, at least this one anyway. Obviously [b]Wedding Crashers[/b] isn't the best film of the year or even close, but it was really enjoyable and I don't mind it winning considering this is the MTV Movie Awards and all, and they usually only give them to popcorn movies anyway.

Anyway, [b]Brokeback Mountain[/b] couldn't deserve Best Kiss more. It was a great movie kiss and it's nice to see a serious same-sex kiss (and a guy-on-guy one no less) actually win, as usually it has to be something funny (like in [b]Dude, Where's My Car?[/b] for example), or a girl-on-girl kiss for one to win. Jake Gyllenhaal is also deserving of his award, though too bad Heath wouldn't have gotten a Best Actor nomination as he gives one of the best performances of all-time in it and he's easily the best in the movie. It's a performance that really stays with you. Oh well though, I'm more than pleased that it won the two categories it was nominated in. I'm also happy for Isla Fisher, who was hilarious in [b]Wedding Crashers[/b]. Steve Carell deserves his too.

Overall this year the winners are pretty solid, except for the overrated Jessica Alba winning Sexiest Performance, but that's no surprise.

I'm also happy to see Anna Faris is one of the presenters. I love her!

"the fifteenth annual ceremony celebrated everything the movies have to offer"

Wow. Just wow. MTV manages to get stupider and stupider each year. And Hayden Christiansen for best villian? That is one of the worst calls they have ever managed to make. Wedding Crashers was very entertaining, but by no means best picture. Pitt and Jolie for best fight? The fights in that movie were luke-warm at best. And what a coincidence, the host won the 'sexiest' award!

And let me guess, she accepted it like it was a suprise or something.

I don't think the winners are that bad. [B]Wedding Crashers[/B] wasn't the best movie of the year or the nominees but it was still fun and MTV doesn't exactly pick the masterpieces of the year anyway. Great calls on Christensen for Villain, Gyllenhaal for Performance, and Fisher for Breakthrough. I'll watch the awards when they air in New Zealand as they're usually a blast.
