Movie Awards Round-up

It was a night of celebrations on Sunday, reports Reuters as the vampire movie “Twilight” swept the board at the MTV Movie Awards in LA. It came away with five awards including best movie and best kiss.

The late Heath Ledger was posthumously awarded Best Villian however one of the surprises of the evening was that “Slumdog Millionaire” walked away empty-handed, having been nominated in six categories.

The highlight of the evening was the much-talked about stunt that saw Sasha Baron Cohen’s character “Bruno” landing in Eminem’s lap. It was later revealed that this stunt had been wholly scripted and Eminem was in on the gag from the start.
