The only award show I really make an effort to watch is the Academy Awards. The other movie award show I’ll watch, if I happen to be home when it’s on, is the MTV movie awards.
You see, the MTV movie awards, while not as serious about films, are really fun. This year Tom Cruise stole the show with his Len Grossman reprise from Tropic Thunder, and it was beautiful. Some people get awards they would not stand a chance getting at any of the “serious” award shows. But the MTV movie awards are for everyone, so any movie, of any rating, can be nominated.
One award show I don’t watch is the Teen Choice awards. I haven’t been a teen in, well, I’m 29, so in quite a long time. I pay little attention to the show and who gets nominated. I stumbled on this article today and thought it was quite interesting. Read it and see if you agree with him. I know I do.
