Whiile I would love to see BB get all of them.. lets llok at this:
* The 40-Year-Old Virgin (Universal Pictures)
* Batman Begins (Warner Bros. Pictures)
* King Kong (Universal Pictures)
* Sin City (Dimension Films)
* Wedding Crashers (New Line Cinema)
I can see Sin City getting it. However, BB was the best out of all these.
* Cillian Murphy - Batman Begins (Warner Bros. Pictures)
* Hayden Christensen - Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith (20th Century Fox)
* Ralph Fiennes - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Warner Bros. Pictures)
* Tilda Swinton - The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe (Disney Pictures)
* Tobin Bell - Saw II (Lions Gate Films)
Yes Cillian Murphy was BAAAD, (as in good) But I'm sorry, as much as I love Batman, Ole Anikin Sky Walker has Scarecrow beat. It was the best he's ever done.
* Christian Bale - Batman Begins (Warner Bros. Pictures)
* Jessica Alba - Fantastic Four (20th Century Fox)
* Daniel Radcliffe - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Warner Bros. Pictures)
* Kate Beckinsale - Underworld: Evolution (Screen Gems)
* Ewan McGregor - Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith (20th Century Fox)
This will be close. Why? Harry Potter is so freak'n huge, Ewan McGregor is just awesome, and then two hotties, and Batman. I can't even guess at this. While Batman is just that, Batman. The others were good too.
And I swear, is Jeesica Simpson beats out Jessica Alba for SEXIEST PERFORMANCE There is just something really wrong. However, I beat it'll go to Beyonce.
Anyway, go vote!!

Very cool. This is about the only awards show I can watch because it isn't too boring. I'll definitely have to watch it when it comes on... or the 8 or 9 other times that they air it.

Thanks, I'll have to keep it in mind. I hadn't really watched the MTV awards until last year, but "Curse You, Tank-Man!" still makes me laugh to this day.
Sorry Beyond, I can't agree with Hayden there. Cillian had a deep, well-thought performance and a creepy demeanor that worked great as the Scarecrow. Hayden did an amazing portrayal of a Block O' Wood?. I could see Fiennes taking it, though.

The MTV Awards has some really funny skits, but the winners usually annoy the hell outta me. Seemed like every MTV-produced film nominated for anything would always win last year. And didn't Napolean Dynamite win Best Movie or something? Christ.

Hahah! :lol: I admit, his performance was odd. He acted so stiff at times, but when it came to the emotional stuff, he really dug in. Maybe trying to have such strong enunciation hindered with his performance.

Were you trying to spell that terribly? Sorry, sometimes I can't tell. :|

The way he spoke in both movies was what really bugged me about his portrayl. His accent was just forced or something. It just didn't sound right. Just grated on my nerves.
