mtv movie awards kwak

Finally got round to watching the (recorded, so could skip tedious bits!) MTV Movie Awards last night. Now, despite the fact that MTV hype it endlessly and even have shows all about the 'wacky stuff' that happened at previous awards, *sigh*, it's often got some interesting people and stunts on it. This time, all the geeks are talking about the Gollum acceptance speech, which was indeed genius - wonder if Andy Serkis wrote the dialog or whether Peter Jackson planned his own berating? Otherwise, the Yoda appearance was, sadly, borderline tedious, there were some fun little comedy cameos (particularly Andy Richter), and me and Holly were disappointed David and Victoria Beckham didn't present, darnit :P But the most exciting thing, for me, and I suspect nobody else, were the trailers for The New Tom Green Show, which is apparently some kind of pseudo-talk show with filmed bits in it, and Glenn Humplik as a real sofa-sitting sidekick. As for why I'm excited, I still think the man is one of the most watchable people on TV - I even liked Freddy Got Fingered. Go figure. I think it's the Beavis And Butthead approach to humor - 'I saw the top of the mountain, and it was good'.
