The "2009 MTV Movie Awards" proved to be a comedy-filled night as host Andy Samberg welcomed a variety of his celebrity friends including Justin Timberlake and Will Ferrell to collaborate on ingenious short films and controversial and unexpected moments. This year, viewers truly took matters into their own hands, led by fans of Twilight, who banded together throughout the voting period to put their favorite film into its rightful place in Movie Awards history. The film took home five golden popcorn statues and received a huge majority of the record breaking votes submitted this year online and via text message.
Eminem stormed out in a heated rage after Bruno put him into a compromising position by landing face down into the rapper's lap.
The MTV audience was treated to exclusive first looks at the highly anticipated movie releases of 2009 including The Twilight Saga's New Moon, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra, and Public Enemies.
Twilight dominated the ceremony, taking home the top honors for "Best Movie" at the conclusion of the night. Robert Pattinson won three statues for "Breakthrough Performance Male," "Best Kiss" with co-star Kristen Stewart and "Best Fight" with Cam Gigandet. Kristen Stewart also won for "Best Female Performance." High School Musical 3: Senior Year grabbed two awards as Ashley Tisdale won "Breakthrough Performance Female" and Zac Efron won "Best Male Performance." Jim Carrey can add to his collection of statues after earning "Best Comedic Performance" for his role in Yes Man. Miley Cyrus earned her first golden popcorn statue for "Best Song From A Movie" for "The Climb." Amy Poehler captured "Best WTF Moment" for her unforgettable scene in Baby Mama, and "Best Villain" went to the legendary performance Heath Ledger displayed in The Dark Knight.
The show got off to a hilarious start as Andy Samberg took fans through a parody of some of this year's favorite films including Slumdog Millionaire, Twilight, The Reader and Star Trek. Andy's wild journey included a cameo by Taylor Swift and ended with him naked in the back of a limo next to Justin Timberlake. Finally arriving onstage in time to open the show, Andy got the crowd hyped up with the help of Mixmaster Mike.
Dressed to the nines and backed by a 20 piece orchestra, Academy Award® winner Forest Whitaker, Grammy Award® winner LeAnn Rimes and multi-platinum recording artist Chris Isaak paid respect to Andy and his incredibly vibrant musical career as they serenaded the crowd with a classical arrangement of "Jizz In My Pants," "I'm On A Boat," "Lazy Sunday," "Dick In A Box" and "Motherlover." The talented trio earned a standing ovation as they turned these edgy hits into an operatic masterpiece.
Zac Efron, Kiefer Sutherland and Triumph the Insult Dog presented former MTV Movie Awards host Ben Stiller with the "MTV Generation Award" for his dynamic career and entertainment of MTV audiences over the years. The honorees began with lofty praises reminiscent of this year's Oscars®, but the tribute awkwardly turned into a no-holds-barred roast when Sutherland broke down sobbing and Triumph started taking jabs at Stiller.
Joined onstage by a New Orleans style brass ensemble and a hypeman, Eminem made a triumphant return to the MTV stage as he performed his latest singles "We Made You" and "Crack A Bottle" from his #1 album Relapse. Kings of Leon made their first-ever live appearance on MTV, performing their rock anthem "Use Somebody" off their Only by the Night album.
In true MTV Movie Awards fashion, the night was filled with laugh-out-loud parodies including the "Explosion" music video starring Andy "Bruce Springsteen" Samberg, Will "Neil Diamond" Ferrell and triple threat writer, director, producer JJ Abrams "as himself" on keyboards. Needless to say it left viewers with a whole new notion of Hollywood's tough guys walking away from mega-movie explosions.
Always looking to break the mold when it comes to award shows, MTV teamed up with Orbit® gum to perform a first-of-its-kind live commercial pod takeover featuring Hayden Panetierre and Big Pak, who presented Amy Poehler with the "Best WTF Moment" award.
The "2009 MTV Movie Awards" welcomed the top names in Hollywood, music and TV throughout the night as the list of superstar presenters included Denzel Washington, Cameron Diaz, Will Ferrell, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Kiefer Sutherland, Bruno, Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Sandra Bullock, Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Hayden Panetierre, Sienna Miller, Jonah Hill, Lil Wayne, Chris Pine, Anna Faris, Channing Tatum, Bradley Cooper, Abigail Breslin, Michael Bay, Ryan Reynolds, Leighton Meester, Taraji P. Henson, Rupert Grint, Ed Helms, Danny McBride, Justin Bartha, Sofia Vassilieva, Mixmaster Mike and Triumph The Insult Dog.

These awards are a joke. They have no meaning to them whatsoever. The best fight award is completly bullsh*t. When I saw the fight I thought that it was the worse choregraphed fight scene in a movie i had ever seen. Completly ridiculous.

Andy Samberg is the opposite of funny. Mark Burnett, Audrey Morrissey, Lee Rolontz, Garrett English, Jane Mun, Robin Reinhardt-Locke, Amy Doyle, and Joanna Bomberg need to be executed for the way that sh*t was executed. Corny............ But Kiefer Sutherland, and the bit with Hayden Panetierre was pretty funny. Plus they either did or didn't do Eminem dirty as hell. All in all who cares.

everyone should know this show is for mindless teenage girls so don't be offended. it like the teen awards, they just nominate who ever is popular with the kids no matter how sh*tty the movie or performance is. the just do it for ratings. why does the dark knight need an mtv award!?! they are better then that. you think bale or nolan want to go to this pointless award. they don't give a f*ck about the mtv awards.

Much respect to those who commented on how lame the awards were for their presentation of twilight like it was the second coming...not being a hater i youtubed a scene to see for myself how sh*tty this movie was....the part in the park where they're playing baseball...the f*ckin effects were unbelievable...I thought to myself,"and they compared this too the Dark Knight?!"
everytime they said the guys name patterson or whatever the whole damn audience went dogsh*t even Jonah Hill acted up (sarcastically) when he saw him come on stage....and yes how dare they not show the award given to Heath!...I would've love to see him go onstage and do the joker accepting the award along with Bale (without the batman voice though,would've f*cked up the sound system..lol)

And once again, MTV has proven to us teenagers (girls) are idiots. Not all of them, but most of them.
MTV is filled with f*cking idiots too.

Anyone who doesn't understand why Twilight won so much simply doesn't understand MTV. It's for young girls. They picked Twilight because of that pale dude who they think is hot. MTV doesn't need to "grow up" at all. I'm the ratings for the show were just fine. MTV isn't going to change. I recorded the awards on my DVR and fast forwarded through all the awards just to watch the funny parts. If you were watching to see who "won" awards, then of course you'd be disappointed...

MTV only exists to pander to pop-culture addicted teenagers. If you expect anything more from them, you need to get your head examined.

MTV needs to make an effort to 'grow-up' and appeal to an older more discriminating public.
