2009 MTV Movie Awards Ask, What’s Better: Twilight or Slumdog Millionaire?
You might think that after Slumdog Millionaire cleaned up at the Oscars back in February, any and all questions about the best movies of 2008 had been definitively answered. But of course, you’d be wrong. The most prestigious movie awards of all are still yet to come… and guess what Slumdog? You’ve got some serious competition in the form of a little movie called Twilight!
Everyone knows that the MTV Movie Awards are a joke, and I won’t waste much time analyzing their list of nominees. However, I am glad to see that this year they’ve introduced a category for “Best WTF Moment” because, you know, the whole award show is basically a WTF moment! When you’ve got High School Musical 3 up against Slumdog Millionaire for Best Movie, it kinda calls into question your judging criteria… and are we really supposed to compare Kate Winslet’s performance in The Reader to Anne Hathaway in Bride Wars? Anyway, check out the full list of nominees after the jump, and then follow the link below to cast your votes!

Posted by Rick on May 4th, 2009Considering the audience this show is geared towards, I think all of those Best Pic nominees have a chance of winning. No idea what Kate Winslet is doing in there, I don’t think any kid or teen saw The Reader.
Posted by Ashley on May 5th, 2009The slumdog millionare should be the winner great acting , and the picture is amaizing!!!!!!
Posted by vinicio gil on May 5th, 2009This show isn’t any more stupid than any other awards show. It’s taking note of young people’s taste rather than what adults like.
Posted by swarez on May 5th, 2009And I think HSM3 and Twilight will clean up this award ceremony.
