It's time Harry Potter got a good award, dang it!!
However I have a feeling it will be Hunger Games, which I haven't seen. But I'll take it over BLECHING Dawn.

SLIDESHOW: Who Deserves an MTV Movie Award?
4 of 7
Best Cast, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2"
What better way to say goodbye to the beloved Potter cast than to hand them a golden popcorn trophy?
-
Movie of the Year, "The Hunger Games"
The record-setting movie has proven that watching teens kill each other can be as thrilling as it is disturbing.
-
Breakthrough Performance, Melissa McCarthy, "Bridesmaids"
Even if you thought "Bridesmaids" was a little overrated (we're in that camp), you couldn't help but laugh at McCarthy's hysterical (and Oscar-nominated) antics.
-
Best Female Performance, Jennifer Lawrence, "The Hunger Games"
Move over, K-Stew: "The Hunger Games" created a new hyphenated superstar in J-Law.
-
Best Cast, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2"
What better way to say goodbye to the beloved Potter cast than to hand them a golden popcorn trophy?
-
Best Kiss, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1"
Um, they did a lot more than kiss, but if "Breaking Dawn" didn't put you in the mood for romance, nothing will.
-
Best On-Screen Transformation, Michelle Williams, "My Week With Marilyn"
Golden Globe-winner Michelle Williams dazzles us in the trailer alone. Her acting just keeps getting better and better.
-
Best On-Screen Dirt Bag, Colin Farrell, "Horrible Bosses"
He usually plays the hunky leading man, which made Colin Farrell that much more hilarious in "Horrible Bosses."

It's that time of year again! The 2012 MTV Movie Award nominees have been announced, and voting is already under way to determine who will win a coveted Golden Popcorn trophy on June 3!
A few of the nominations had us scratching our heads (Liam Hemsworth for "The Hunger Games"? He was in it it for like five minutes!), but we're already rooting for our favorites in quite a few categories. Like "The Hunger Games" for best movie, of course, and its heroine Jennifer Lawrence for best female performance.
Even if you thought "Bridesmaids" was a little overrated (we're in that camp), you couldn't help but laugh at Melissa McCarthy's hysterical (and Oscar-nominated) antics. So she's our pick in the breakthrough performance category. And if the "Breaking Dawn" kiss didn't put you in the mood for romance, nothing will.

Pure awesome, those guys
I'm so glad I got to meet them!!!! :P
Steward's same expression and Pattinson's horrid acting are pass over rated.
But I reckon its also time for a good Harry Potter Award.
Really though, I hope The Hunger Games doesn't win a thing! I read the book and honestly I was upset. About the major cast, everything. Especially the Liam Hemsworth thing. Like, are you serious? He's cute and everything (his brother even hotter), but, he honestly seems like an idiot. And looks a little like one. I hated his acting because he sounded really stiff and whiny, and really his face nowhere near matched what I was looking for. He looked "off".
Jennifer Lawrence, I like her, I really do, but she disappointed me. She just seemed really awkward the entire film. And not the, good actress because awkward is in plus your character is supposed to be awkward awkward, she was the, what the hell am I supposed to say what's my motivation douche-bag awkward. And that really pissed me off. She also needs to learn how to smile. Through the entire book Katniss smiled whenever there was peace and quiet or she just did something amazing. Jennifer always looked like she was going to smile, and then cracked a weird grin and started moving.
Just to sum up everything I was going to say about Josh or Peeta. It's simple. I don't think he should have gotten the role. To be completely honest, t...

Just to sum up everything I was going to say about Josh or Peeta. It's simple. I don't think he should have gotten the role. To be completely honest, the hair color only looked nice when he had it slicked back or ruffled. But, any other time, like in the actual arena and most of the movie, he looked plain wrong. He didn't fit the character.
Let's talk about Haymitch for a second. Or Woody Allen. Who decided on the wig? He looked ridiculous. Everyone had to have noticed. He looked absolutely silly. He sounded ridiculous. See, Haymitch was supposed to be a lonely jaded man who drank away his pain and tried to hide the fact that on the inside he cared about everyone, but all his life he had no one, and whenever he bonded they were killed and his life was an endless cycle of loss, so his drinking convinced him he didn't care. Woody Allen didn't do that in the least. He seemed like that dude that knew a lot but didn't say anything to help unless it pissed someone else off. He was a redneck douche-bag. Which is who he plays best. He didn't even drink either. Like people would offer him one and he wouldn't act interested. Haymitch drinks and you can't even get that right.
What made me the most angry was that the supporting cast was fantastic. That's really sad. They did great. All the tributes, family, and even the Capital's staff! The main characters looked and acted ridiculous though.
Oh, yeah. Let's not forget the flaws with the movie itself. Its like the people who made it never planned to make the sequels. They had a terrible set-up to begin with. They didn't develop Haymitch's character at all. I know you don't want an extremely long movie but, why? They cut out the scene where he was supposed to mock the Capital. It was to show how damaged he had become, yet how honest he was and how he hadn't been turned into a puppet.
They didn't show Peeta's bruising when his mother hit him, none that I noticed (correct me if I'm wrong about that). They made it seem like he burned the read and then noticed Katniss. No, he burned it because of her. So he could give it to her.
They didn't add the compassion that Katniss received from her hairdressers. That part was supposed to explain how ignorant the people in the Capital were. A comment or two would have worked fine.
They didn't really explain the tracker-jackers or the birds. Especially when she dropped the hive. They didn't even show Peeta getting sliced by Cato's sword when he realized Peeta saved Katniss.
The part that got me was how they didn't add the dog's made from tributes. They just put in some mutant gorilla-pig-dogs. That was supposed to show how messed up the capital was. Not adding the dogs was just lazy! Also, about those dogs, they made it seem like the killed Thrusher. When Cato and him were supposed to face off and Cato won.
Overall, it was just about decent. And really if you're going to make a movie out of an amazing book, do a good job. I'm seriously disappointed in them.
