Johnny Depp and the Man Kiss...
Captain Jack Sparrow was the big winner at the MTV Movie Awards as
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest was named best movie and
its star, Johnny Depp, won for best performance.
Depp joined Pirates producer Jerry Bruckheimer to accept the Golden
Popcorn trophy.
"This is the man who did it all right here, Johnny Depp," Bruckheimer
said today. "Without him, we wouldn't be here."
"I'd like to thank this man and Disney for not firing me first," Depp
quipped.
Other big winners during the live broadcast from the Gibson
Amphitheatre in Los Angeles included Mike Myers, who won the MTV
Generation Award, and Sacha Baron Cohen, who collected two trophies.
Cohen earned the comedic performance prize for his starring turn in
Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation
of Kazakhstan.
"Unfortunately, Borat can't be here tonight," he joked. "He's been
feeling the pressures of fame and had to check himself into rehab."
Cohen also claimed best-kiss honours for his smooch with Will Ferrell
in Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.
The two comedians shared a long, passionate kiss - culminating in a
roll-around-on-the-floor makeout session - as they accepted their
awards.
Then the focus turned to films. MTV's irreverent mix of honours
includes prizes for best fight and best villain, plus awards for
aspiring filmmakers.
Jack Nicholson was the winning villain, capturing the Golden Popcorn
trophy for his mobster role in The Departed. The fight prize went to
Gerard Butler, who battled "The Uber Immortal" in the epic 300.
The breakthrough performance prize went to nine-year-old Jaden Smith,
who starred opposite his father, Will Smith, in The Pursuit of
Happyness.
He accepted his award by video from Toronto with his dad by his side
and his mum behind the camera.
The 16-year-old awards show unveiled two new categories this year:
best movie spoof and best summer movie you haven't seen yet.
Andy Signore, a filmmaker from Pennsylvania, won the best spoof award
for United 300, a hybrid spoof of 300 and United 93.
Transformers, due July 3, was named the best as-yet-unseen summer
film. And here's the trailer...
