I usually like to watch the MTV Movie awards. I may not catch them the night they air, but MTV reruns them ad-nauseum until I eventually find time to get around to it. Of course they don’t mean anything, since they’re carefully skewed and constructed by MTV to fit their target audience. I mean, it’s not like there’s really an actual, legit voting process going on here. But the awards show is fun and celebs are generally really relaxed. It makes for good viewing. Well I won’t be watching this year.
Napoleon Dynamite, the movie most beloved by assholes, skater teenagers, and people who want to pretend they are into indie movies and cult film but don’t really even know what that means, cleaned up at the MTV Movie awards winning Best Movie, Best Breatkthrough Male Performance, and Best Musical Performance. Huh, wonder if it is a coincidence that it is distributed by MTV Films. I suspect not. Here’s the full list of winners, but in the company of the sickeningly untalented Jon Heder there are no real winners here. This is their worst group of winners ever.
