MTV Movie Awards Hosted by Rebel Wilson

You knew it had to be a good show when this was the first time in recent memory when Twilight wasn't nominated in pretty much every category.

The opening: What can I say. James Franco was there and made fun of his own hosting. Rebel Wilson had a boyfriend of Channing Tatum and his butt. Iron Man Giant (I would watch that movie). Wilson singing The Climb. The cast of Pitch Perfect! Skylar Astin rapping. And she was basically just overall hilarious with the perfect amount of raunchiness. So basically better than every other opening for this show I've seen in the last few years.

Of course, the show went off the rails after the beginning. Here is a breakdown of all the winners.

Best Male Performance: Bradley Cooper for Silver Linings Playbook. He can't win any real awards for this movie because of Daniel Day Lewis. But I am psyched he won! ANd he gave a little PSA for our vets, of which I'm sure most of the viewers of this show know nothing about.

Best WTF Moment: Jamie Foxx and Samuel L. Jackson. I'm pretty sure most of that entire movie could fit into this category, just like every other Quentin Tarantino movie.

Best Fight: Marvel's The Avengers. This definitely deserved to win. Probably the most expensive of all the nominees as well. It is always good to see Tom Hiddleston and Chris Evans. And Joss Whedon deserves every award made ever.

Trailblazer Award: Emma Watson. I am about her age, and boy did this make me feel bad about all of my accomplishments. It also made me REALLY miss Harry Potter. Jonah Hill's "announcement"about them starring in Fifty Shades of Grey was also perfect.

Best Kiss: Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence for Silver Linings Playbook. Only Cooper was there, so not really as much to say about this award as in years past.

Comedic Genius Award: Will Ferrell. I don't know if I'd say a genius, but I was ready to go with it. And then the speech went on. And there was clearly a bet that Aubrey Plaza lost in order to promote a movie. At least Will went for it. And then his Asian family came on stage (don't ask). Oh, and he was wearing a three-piece money suit. This is essentially when the show went off the rails.

Breakthrough Performance: Rebel Wilson. No real surprise here. She basically made Pitch Perfect as wonderful and hilarious as it was. Without her, it would just have really good singing, and not have the same funnies and heart.

Best Shirtless Performance: Taylor Lautner for Twilight. HOW THE HECK DID CHANNING TATUM NOT WIN? There are no words to describe my anger.

Best Villain: Tom Hiddleston for The Avengers. He was Hulk smashed. And he is an evil god. So basically he deserved the award. And he called Joss Whedon a beautiful badass.

Generation Award: Jamie Foxx. He seems like a pretty cool guy. So he definitely deserves this. Especially for his ground breaking role as Motherf****er Jones in Horrible Bosses.

Best Musical Moment: The cast of Pitch Perfect. Just a bunch of regular gals singing to a Mariah Carey chart topper.

Before I get to best movie, Brad Pitt why are you there? OK and the winner is...

Best Movie: Marvel's The Avengers. Making it the night's winner of most popcorn trophies. Joss, you deserve this buddy, even though most of me was pulling for Silver Linings. But seriously, Joss freaking Whedon, you are amazing and wonderful for writing and directing such a wonderful superhero movie that I'm pretty sure everyone in the world saw.
