The prestigious MTV Award carries its own unique weight of achievement, but let's face it, it's not the Oscars or the Golden Globes. However, it does carry it's weight in entertainment and style, not to be confused with class. You don't have to work in the advertising business to know that the MTV Movie Awards is an advertising venue for upcoming movies and music, rather than a legitimate award show of achievement. Even the "Viewers Choice Award" is skewed because of the audience that MTV attracts. This doesn't mean I don't like the yearly show, I just don't get offended when Twilight is picked as movie of the year over The Dark Knight.
The most controversial moment of the night was Bruno's introduction. This is Sasha Baron Cohen's latest persona for his next movie Bruno. Bruno was introduced with a grand flying entrance dressed as some sort of angel-stripper hybrid. In mid-flight, his wire gets caught among the rafters, and is slowly let down revealing his bare ass covered only by a skimpy thong. Where does he end up landing? Right on Eminem's face... LITERALLY! From head-to-toe and toe-to-head, Eminem got more than he bargained for that night!
Eminem was clearly infuriated! Not only was the majority of the dialogue silenced due to all the profanity, but Eminem and his entourage got up and left the show. I'm still trying to figure out if this whole ordeal was staged, as I find it surprising that his entourage didn't stop Bruno sooner. Aren't entourages' the celebrity equivalent of secret service agents? I mean, they were laughing while Eminem looked cold-hard-pissed! I also find it a bit ironic that Eminem, who is the king of slinging insults, was pushed over the edge by this stunt. Who knows! All I know, is that Bruno is going to make a killing at the box office!
