Last night was the 21st Annual MTV Movie Awards here in Studio City, California of course. The awards ceremony was hosted by Russell Brand. It was quite a eventful year for Russell Brand, with his highly publicized divorce from Katy Perry. But besides that, he stars in the upcoming musical "Rock of Ages", so talk about movie promotion! I feel with this year's show, there was really no room for a host. Yes he did his monologue in the beginning, but he was like M.I.A. during the entire show...but it's not like I cared or anything, just an observation.
Here's the list of winners from the night. It was nice seeing a few new categories thrown in there:

This awards show was actual pretty enjoyable for me. There were a few standout moments:
1) FUN opened up the show with their hit song "We Are Young". Man, does the lead singer have a voice on him! White boy can SANG!
2) Chris Hemsworth is HOT! Before I thought Liam was hands down the hotter younger brother, BUT after seeing Chris Hemsworth while presenting the award, my jaw seriously DROPPED! He is a GOD!
3) Wiz Khalifa's performance just because he did an ode to classic rock when he rocked a Joan Jett tank and the signature Steven Tyler decorated mic stand with colorful scarves.
4) Joe Manganiello showed up in his Magic Mike attire when Elizabeth Banks won her award. FIRE!
5) Kristen Stewart. How awkward is she? I was freakin embarrassed for her, especially when she won the award (again) for Best Kiss with Robert Pattinson and she was on-stage solo. No one wanted to accompany her, and she was just really weird...again. Awkward turtle anyone?
6) Emma Stone awarded the MTV Trailblazer Award. Who doesn't love that girl? Not only is she a good actress, but I truly do respect celebs that speak eloquently. She did a heartfelt speech on being independent and doing what you love...very inspiring.
7) Johnny Depp performing with The Black Keys. He was also awarded the MTV Generation Award, but honestly, how much better can Johnny Depp get? He's very handsome, a great actor, AND a musician. YOU GO JOHNNY DEPP!
8) Christian Bale quietly breaking down during the presentation of The Dark Knight highlights from the past two films whilst remembering Heath Ledger. Though I initially thought he had a really hard exterior from his less than stellar personality heard around town, to see that emotional side made me weak inside! We will always remember you Heath Ledger!
What were your highlights of the night?
