Virtual winner? MTV Movie award goes to an unusual character
Los Angeles, June 01: You don`t even have to exist to get an MTV Movie award.
Los Angeles, June 01: You don`t even have to exist to
get an MTV Movie award.
The irreverent ceremony honoured the little green jedi,
Yoda, for best fight scene from "Star Wars: Episode II-Attack
of the Clones". The award for best on-screen team went to the
raspy creep Gollum from "The Lord of The Rings: The Two
Towers" as well as human co-stars Elijah Wood and Sean Astin.
Yoda appeared on a giant screen to accept his honour and
spoke in his signature circuitous manner.
"Hmmm ... Grateful am I to this award receive. To win, I did not expect," he said. "Promise myself cry I would not." He went on to thank supporters ranging from "Star Wars" creator George Lucas to Wookie Chewbacca, Vin Diesel, space monster Greedo and actor Steve Guttenberg.
The computer-animated Yoda became angry when music played him off the stage.
Rage rapper Eminem claimed the breakthrough male trophy for his work in the drama "8 mile".
In a pre-taped acceptance speech he took a shot at Mariah Carey and her romantic-musical flop. "I can`t believe I beat Mariah for `Glitter`," he said.
The event at the Shrine Auditorium is more satire than ceremony, honouring show-business types for such categories as best kiss, villain and fight.
While Yoda and Gollum won in categories in which they competed against human actors, they were both also nominated in a new MTV class for "virtual performance". Their competition included the jabbering marsupial from "Kangaroo Jack"; Dobby the self-torturing elf in "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" and the talking dog from "Scooby-doo".
