Season 18
The MTV Movie Awards is an American film awards show presented annually on MTV (Music Television). It also contains movie parodies that use official movie footage, with hosts and other celebrities and music performances.
The first awards ceremony was in 1992, with Dennis Miller as host.
The 2009 MTV Movie Awards (the 18th edition) aired in South Africa live on DStv's MTV channel on Monday 8 June 2009 at 02h00, with a delayed broadcast on MTVbase on Monday 8 June, at 21h00.
About the Awards
The MTV Movie Awards show is the kind of place where Jim Carrey becomes Jim Morrison, Will Ferrell makes out with Sacha Baron Cohen and Sarah Silverman tears Paris Hilton to shreds as the whole world watches.
It's the kind of place where Greg Brady makes out with Carol Brady. His mom. Yeah. Anything goes.
And anything is sure to go - look for re-enactments of mind-blowing Movie Awards moments, ridiculous categories, plenty of ways to participate online and, of course, an auditorium loaded with stars behaving badly.
Unlike all the other boring awards shows, the viewers decide who takes home the awards.
The nominees are decided by a special panel at Tenth Planet Productions, the production company headed by Joel Gallen, who also created the MTV Movie Awards. Winners are decided by the general public.
Voting is done through MTV's official website through a special Movie Awards link.
2009 MTV Movie Awards
This year the tradition continues with the funniest and most goofily entertaining awards show of the year, hosted by SNL funnyman Andy Samberg.
Also watch for a live performance by rapper Eminem with an appearance promoting the release of his new album, Relapse.
Be a part of the show that honours the current crop of best movie performances - and the coveted Popcorn Award given in such categories as "Best Kiss," "Best Villain" and "Best Comedic Performance."
