I love the MTV Movie Awards! I'm hoping the Pirates take just about everything.


Best Movie
*Pirates of the Caribbean
I love X2, but Pirates was just that much better.

Best Male
*Johnny Depp (PotC)
He's Captain Jack Sparrow!

Best Female-Halle Berry (Gothika)
*Uma Thurman (Kill Bill Vol. 1)
I found I actually don't care about this category that much (or anyone in it) so I just decided to go with Uma.

Best On-Screen Team
*Johnny Depp & Orlando Bloom (PotC)
These two really did make for a fun combination. I liked this category better when it was Best On-Screen Duo.

Best Villan
*Kiefer Sutherland (Phone Booth)
I really like Rush in Pirates, but the amount of evil Kiefer was able to get across while not actually appearing on screen was just awesome.

Best Comedic Performance
*Jim Carrey (Bruce Almighty)
This was really tough pick with Depp, Will and Carrey. I decided to give it to
The Almighty though. Carrey's acceptance speech would be worth the vote alone.

Best Dance Sequence
*Sean William Scott (American Wedding)
"Everybody wants the Stiff-mister." This was one of the movie highlights.

Best Kiss
*Shawn Ashmore & Anna Paquin (X2)
The first one is really sweet and the second one was freaky and "cool." I thank you.

Best Action Sequence
*Battle @ Gondor (ROTK)
This one should be absolutely no contest.

Best Fight
*Hugh Jackman vs. Kelly Hu (X2)
No way I would vote for a fight where the bad guy talks out loud to himself how he needs to stand in this spot... no a little to the left and then say this phrase and it will be all over. I liked The Rundown fight but Wolverine vs. Deathstrike gets my vote.

Breakthrough Male
*Shawn Ashmore (X2)
This must go to Shawn Ashmore. Nothing else is acceptable.

Breakthrough Female
*Keira Knightley (PotC)
Another clear choice. Keira did a fantastic job.

Only 2 nods for ROTK? Odd.

Also, I had hoped The Rock would get more than his one nomination, but if you're only gonna snag one award, and you're an action star, Best Fight makes sense.

Now to my picks:

Best Movie:

I'm gonna have to go against the grain, and say X2 upends Return of the King.

Best Male:
Depp

Best Female:
Uma.

Best On-Screen Duo:
Depp & Bloom

Best Villain:
Liu over Demi here.

Best Comedic Performace:
Come on, you HAVE to know Carrey's gonna get this one.

Best Dance Sequence
Stiller & Aniston

Best Kiss
Ashmore & Paquin

Best Action Sequence:
No contest, ROTK takes this

Best Fight

Uma vs. Chaki

Breakthrough Male:
Shawn Ashmore

Breakthrough Female:
I say Lohan wins this one.

[Lonestarr]

I'm a little disappointed...

- No Best Male Performance for Asthon Kutcher (The Butterfly Effect).

- The screwing over of Kill Bill: Vol. 1; sure, it received some noms, but where is it in the Best Movie category?! Also, if there were any justice, the film would've swept the Best Fight category (though I also loved the fight from The Rundown).

That said, here are my picks:

Film: Pirates of the Caribbean
Male: Either Johnny Depp or Bill Murray
Female: Uma Thurman
On-Screen Team: Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom
Villain: Either Lucy Liu or Kiefer Sutherland
Fight: The Bride vs. Go-Go Yubari
Comedic: Three-way tie between Jack Black, Ellen DeGeneres and Johnny Depp
Dance: Couldn't care less.
Action Sequence: Champion Crane Chase from T3
Kiss: Iceman and Rogue, no question.
Breakthrough - Male: Either Shawn Ashmore or Shia LaBeouf
Breakthrough - Female: Either Lindsay Lohan or Keira Knightley

I might know why ROTK only has two nods. It's because that the movie has won ALMOST EVERY SINGLE AWARD ON THE PLANET! Seriously, if you win every single Oscar you were nominated in, you deserve to have 2 nods. It's only fair to the other movies. I'm more shocked to see Charlie's Angels 2 receive 3 nods (the only one I would accept is Demi's nod for best villian). Here's my picks:

Best Movie: ROTK.
it's movie history, baby!
Best male: Depp
easy win for mr. scene stealer. however, I have a dark-horse-pick for mr. cavezil just because of the torture he went through just to film The Passion
Best Female: Uma
look at my avatar, fool!
On-Screen Team: Jack Black and the "Band"
one crazy man + a boatload of cute kids = stale popcorn
Best Villian: Kiefer
you can't see him, but he can creep you out
Comedic Performance: Jim Carrey
you know you want to hear his acceptance speech. plus, i loved his performance in Bruce Almighty
Dance Sequence: The cast of You Got Served
it's a dance movie catered to the trl crowd. you know the dance sequences were impressive, even though you haven't seen the movie at all
Best Kiss: Ashmore & Paquin
it's so cute and sweet!
Action Sequence: Gondor
locked-in win
Fight: Thurman vs. Kuriyama
a battle to the death has never been this sexy (and brutal)
Breakthrough Male: Ashmore
he IS iceman
Breakthrough Female: Knightly
even though the nod is for PotC, 2003 WAS her year (Bend It Like Beckham, Love Actually, and PotC). Not too shabby for a person who, in 1999, was Queen Amidala's personal bodyguard/double in Star Wars: Episode 1
