MTV Movie Awards Season 19 Episode 1 2010 MTV Movie Awards
- June 6, 2010
The 2010 MTV Movie Awards celebrates another year of blockbuster hits and fan favorites. Hosted by comedian Aziz Ansari and featuring a star-studded lineup of presenters and performers, this year's awards show promises to be a night to remember.
The show opens with a high-energy performance by Katy Perry, who takes the stage in a shimmering silver jumpsuit to sing her hit single "California Gurls." The crowd goes wild as Perry dances and sings her way through the song, complete with a troupe of backup dancers and an elaborate set that includes a giant candy cane and a rainbow-colored slide.
After Perry's performance, Ansari takes the stage to kick off the awards ceremony. Dressed in a black tuxedo and red bow tie, Ansari jokes about his own lack of Hollywood credentials before launching into a series of skits and jokes about the year's biggest movies.
One of the night's biggest moments comes when Tom Cruise appears on stage to present the award for Best Movie. Dressed in full Tropic Thunder garb, including a bald cap and fake hands, Cruise engages in an extended bit with Ansari before announcing the winner: The Twilight Saga: New Moon.
Other winners of the night include Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, who take home the award for Best Kiss for their steamy on-screen makeout session in New Moon. Sandra Bullock is also honored with the Generation Award, in recognition of her contributions to the film industry over the course of her career.
In addition to the awards themselves, the 2010 MTV Movie Awards is full of memorable moments and musical performances. Adam Sandler and Chris Rock take the stage to perform a comedy sketch, while Christina Aguilera performs her hit single "Not Myself Tonight" in a racy black bodysuit that leaves little to the imagination.
Meanwhile, audiences are treated to sneak peeks of upcoming blockbusters like Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. The show also features a hilarious spoof of the popular superhero movie genre, with Ansari donning a cape and fighting off bad guys in a series of ridiculous fight scenes.
Throughout the night, a series of famous faces also take the stage to present awards and offer commentary on the year's movies. Miranda Cosgrove, Jonah Hill, and Jessica Biel are just a few of the stars that join in the festivities.
Overall, the 19th season premiere of the MTV Movie Awards is a night of entertainment and glamour that celebrates all things movies. From the red carpet arrivals to the final award acceptance speeches, this year's show is one for the books.
