Seeing her trying to articulate a decent response to basic questions is like watching a car crash waiting to happen. She starts. Stops. Starts again, gets nervous and just gives up altogether. She's a big change from those media trained disney child stars that we're all accustomed to. <br /><br />It started of funny (i certainly had a good laugh over that Lettterman interview) but its clear after having seen her in several interviews that she is in way over her head. Now whenever i see her she just looks so insecure and so out of place that i cant help but warm up to her. Dare i say its become almost cute?<br /><br />She reminds me of that initial awkward stage that alot of people go through: newly graduated and not quite sure of how to behave in the wider world. Pattinson seems to be managing his awkwardness over his new-found fame by covering it up with self-deprecating humour so he doesnt get as much flack for his actions. Kristen would do well if she could only develop one!Liznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-45517715488542481042009-06-02T09:53:11.874-04:002009-06-02T09:53:11.874-04:00Kyle probably not but you don't have to see the mo...<B>Kyle</B> probably not but you don't have to see the movies to vote for them -- it's like the People's Choice votes for Best Actress which are sometimes even funnier (you can get nominated even if you didn't make a movie!)NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-57626765882698671152009-06-02T09:43:33.690-04:002009-06-02T09:43:33.690-04:00Kristen... i would find it endearing (i liked the ...Kristen... i would find it endearing (i liked the trophy dropping moment and her response 'i'm as awkward as you expected me to be') if it didn't come with this defensive 'i can't be bothered' superiority vibe. <br /><br />she's just a major turn off for me. i can't entirely explain it.

The Enimen/Bruno incident was staged and not staged.<br /><br />And adelutza, tween boys had the floor last year, or did you not notice how "Transformers" won best film then? It's lame to let either group have carte blanche on any awards show for picking lame results like these, even by usual MTV standards.<br /><br />Also, what I was getting at with the "Twilight"/"The Reader" comparison was that neither films were worth much, but at least "Twilight" never made any grand aspirations to be more than what it was, which was a visual rendering of a soapy and trite novel that tween girls could fawn over. Mission accomplished. "The Reader" was a cast as a SERIOUS HOLOCAUST DRAMA that was half-assed on numerous fronts in content, scope, and execution, and if you're going to try to aim high like that unlike "Twilight", you should at least land in the vicinity of someplace decent. Failed. It was just funny to me is all that one beat out the other in a head-to-head match-up, which isn't anything new for MTV either, commerce over arthouse.Daveynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-64653397217624209332009-06-01T10:55:38.452-04:002009-06-01T10:55:38.452-04:00Davey, for somebody who says that he hated The Rea...Davey, for somebody who says that he hated <I>The Reader</I> and that <I>Twilight</I> was better because it didn't try to be "high art" , I am surprised at your angst against teenage girls.

"Twilight" was no kind of great cinema, but it wasn't trying to be. "The Reader" was trying to be high art and failed. I hated that film so much. <br /><br />Still don't know what to make of that Eminem/Bruno bit. Could Eminem have been in the dark about what was going to happen (or the extent of Bruno's antics), but MTV/Sacha Baron Cohen had everything planned to a T (knowing exactly where Cohen would land and where to place the camera)? Eminem did leave the show after that, the censors didn't catch all of his cursing, and he looked supremely pissed as he was leaving the auditorium. Best moment of the show though.<br /><br />Andy Samberg did the best he could with a lame "Twilight" sweep. The beginning parodies with "Slumdog Millionaire" and "Star Trek" were fun.<br /><br />I think I'm fairly traumatized by Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker singing "Dick in a Box." Yikes.<br /><br />Never let tween girls vote for anything anymore! That should be the lesson taken from these shows, unless you think it's compelling television to watch Robert Pattinson suck the life out of the time he's on the screen, or Kristen Stewart dropping her moonman and acting like a stoned and retarded 16-year-old girl. But watch the exact same thing happen next year with "New Moon." <br /><br />The beauty of MTV.Daveynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-27084134998621440182009-06-01T09:22:42.844-04:002009-06-01T09:22:42.844-04:00Dear God...

I was focusing more on the laughs that a good ol' Kanye bitchfit would give me, but the aspect of a public heckling of Eminem and his homophobia was not lost on me. <br /><br />But i must admit, in spite of some of the stuff he spits out sometimes, i do like Eminem as an artist. When he's not making fun of others or going all emo with killing and violence, he can come up with some great rap songs like "Lose Yourself", "Stan", and "Like Toy Soldiers". He's not like most rappers these days who stick to topics like "Hey, i'm a badass who fucks bitches and hoes!" or "Look at how much money i have!" and other stuff like that. <br /><br />I do feel somewhat guilty for liking him, but i try to put that aside when dealing with his music. It's what i do with Wagner. Wagner was a big ol' anti-Semite, yet, do i love his music. Same with Kanye. His ego is horribly annoying though he does come up with some great things (at least in my opinion)<br /><br />It's not like he totally didn't deserve to be Bruno's target, but i did feel embarrassed for him. Plus, i have to wonder if this will change his homophobia or reinforce it?Derreckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16753119043647198637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-59993486823610760382009-06-01T03:10:23.022-04:002009-06-01T03:10:23.022-04:00Derreck, I think doing it to Kanye wouldn't have h...Derreck, I think doing it to Kanye wouldn't have had nearly the significance/resonance it does with Eminem, considering Eminem's supposed homophobia and frequent use of 'faggot' in his song lyrics. <br /><br />Kanye, on the other hand, has openly called for the homophobia among hip-hip artists to stop, and Bruno doing it to him would just be a cheap laugh, and not be the kind of transgressive, "statement" type thing Cohen is known for, and is doing here.<br /><br />A funnier bitchfit? Perhaps, but it wouldn't have the impact this does/did.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06869577550036962998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-39760619707757140212009-06-01T02:33:38.269-04:002009-06-01T02:33:38.269-04:00so you're saying it's not funny?so you're saying it's not funny?NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-17919060078924054582009-06-01T01:54:09.864-04:002009-06-01T01:54:09.864-04:00So I've seen Bruno and let me tell you, that the m...So I've seen Bruno and let me tell you, that the movie is not even close to how hilarious this Eminem sketch was.Michael B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06587665362502209914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-29143495910988090972009-06-01T01:29:52.632-04:002009-06-01T01:29:52.632-04:00ok, i laughed myself silly at the Bruno/Eminem inc...ok, i laughed myself silly at the Bruno/Eminem incident.
