2010 MTV Movie Awards Nominees and Predictions; Winners

Sherry Wight
The 2010 MTV Movie Awards, helmed by Aziz Ansari, aired June 6 on MTV, home of Snooki, The Real World and a whole lot of reality television. Nominated performers duked it out for wins in categories including Best Breakout Star, Best Villain and Best WTF Moment (and yes, that means what you think it means) among others. The night's big winners were the cast of New Moon, the second installment of the Twilight Saga. Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and the rest of the crew took home five awards, including the coveted Best Movie title.

Said awards were presented by a legion of Hollywood faves, including Chris Rock, Diddy, and Will Ferrell, and we were treated to performances by stars including Katy Perry and Christina Aguilera. Also appearing at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards were Oscar-winner turned scorned wife Sandra Bullock, who claimed the Generation Award, and surviving Golden Girl Betty White, whose recent turn as host of Saturday Night Live endeared her to a whole new generation.

Without further ado, here's a look at your 2010 MTV Movie Awards nominees, pre-show predictions, and eventual outcomes.

2010 MTV Movie Awards nominees - Best Movie
Alice in Wonderland
Avatar
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
The Hangover
The Twilight Saga: New Moon

Prediction: New Moon. Although there are certainly better films on this list - Avatar was an early fave for the Oscar, after all - tweenage fans will probably pull it out for Bella, Edward, Jacob and the rest of the crew in Forks.
Actual Winner: New Moon. I actually own this movie, but the first one was so painfully awful that I haven't been able to make myself watch it yet.

2010 MTV Movie Award nominees - Global Superstar
Daniel Radcliffe
Johnny Depp
Kristen Stewart
Robert Pattinson
Taylor Lautner

Prediction: Johnny Depp. I sense this one's a bit of a longshot, but Depp is just so hot. Given that there are three Twilight kids in the mix here, there's no clear winner, but I'll lean Robert Pattinson's way.
Actual Winner: Robert Pattinson. Oh, joy.

2010 MTV Movie Awards nominees - Best Comedic Performance
Ben Stiller - Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
Bradley Cooper - The Hangover
Ryan Reynolds - The Proposal
Sandra Bullock - The Proposal
Zach Galifianakis - The Hangover

Prediction: Sandra Bullock. She's already got tonight's Generation Award in her back pocket, but girlfriend needs more love. You're a dirtbag, Jesse James. Oh, and she was genuinely good in The Proposal, too.
Actual Winner: Zach Galifianakis - The Hangover. I give: He was pretty darn hilarious.

2010 MTV Movie Award nominees - Best Male Performance
Channing Tatum - Dear John
Daniel Radcliffe - Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Robert Pattinson - Twilight Saga: New Moon
Taylor Lautner - Twilight Saga: New Moon

Actual Winner: Robert Pattison. Wow.

2010 MTV Movie Awards nominees - Best Female Performance
Amanda Seyfried - Dear John
Emma Watson - Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Kristen Stewart - Twilight Saga: New Moon
Sandra Bullock - The Blind Side
Zoe Saldana - Avatar

Prediction: Sandra Bullock. She won an Oscar for this role, duh.
Actual Winner: Kristen Stewart. First Lee DeWyze wins Idol, now this? Bad things happen when too many tweeners have personal cell phones and unlimited internet access.

2010 MTV Movie Award nominees - Best Breakout Star
Anna Kendrick - Up in the Air
Chris Pine - Star Trek
Gabourey Sidibe - Precious
Logan Lerman - Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

    Sherry, I'm leaving two extra comments so you can delete "Bri" and "uyii"

  • CJ Mathis6/6/2010

    Wow this is a great article I think however that Bri's comment needs to be remove. Why can't people just be normal instead of acting like children Bri that comment is meant for you.
