The 2011 MTV Movie Awards Recap

Los Angeles, CA – The Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles held the prestigious 20th Annual MTV Movie Awards for the year 2011. The star studded event was hosted by actor/comedian Jason Sudeikis as the frontrunner of the show. And like every movie awards show from MTV they open with a movie spoof, this year they opened with a spoof of ‘Hangover 2.’ As it commenced, Sudeikis went in on his comedy picking at different actors and actresses in their respective movies of this year and last, some found it to be funny, while others, well wasn’t too fond of the whole charade. Either the way, the audience itself was filled with a mixture of teeny bopper celebrities and veteran actors, more teeny boppers than anything. The camera had an interesting time panning between Team Twilight and Team Harry Potter.  I, myself, found it quite difficult to switch back and forth between the Heat and Mavericks Championship Finals game and the Movie Awards, but nevertheless, this article still found its way onto the On Clock Report. Thank you to the people on twitter that I follow for some of the highlights, much appreciation for that.

Robert Pattinson is a clown. Besides winning three awards, MTV had him say a couple of words for Reese Witherspoon alongside Patrick Dempsey and Chelsea Handler during the presentation of being the recipient of this year’s MTV Generation Award. Not sure if MTV was paying attention or not, but during Pattinson’s speech or built up punchline, he let something slip. When Witherspoon finally came on stage to accept the award, she actually finished the line for Pattinson and honestly she made it sound better. All in all, Reese Witherspoon has come a long way in her illustrious career and it was a great idea on MTV’s part to choose her as this year’s recipient.   

Besides all of the quite interesting comedic acts that involved Sudeikis and the obvious MTV antics that we have all become used to, the actors and actresses did a great job with following along and presenting the awards. There were even amazing performances from the Foo Fighters as they performed ‘Walk’ and the talented Lupe Fiasco and Trey Songz as they performed ‘Out of My Head.’ After that, Lupe went into performing his solo hit single ‘The Show Goes On.’


And of course MTV had to provide the world exclusive premieres for both the new Twilight and Harry Potter films.

Lil Wayne Discusses his Upcoming ‘Unplugged’ Special

New York, NY – There is no denying the fact that Lil Wayne has had an amazing 2011 thus far. Just recently coming off the first leg of his ‘I Am Still Music Tour,’ yet preparing for the second go around, awaiting the release of ‘Tha Carter IV,’ and all the while watching the growth of his empire, Young Money. Now because of his amazing career that spans over 2 and half decades the most prestigious honor was bestowed upon him when MTV chose him to grace the groundbreaking ‘Unplugged’ series.

It wasn’t so long ago VH1 chose Lil Wayne as the artist to revamp the long-credible series ‘Behind the Music,’ again, this time MTV chose him to revamp the ‘Unplugged’ series, which has seen many legendary artists grace the stage before him.

Wayne recently sat down with Sway as MTV News interviewed him on his upcoming ‘Unplugged’ special. Because of his ability to reach out and dabble beyond Hip-Hop more over into R&B and Rock, he states is the main reason behind his bestowed honor.

These were his comments:

“It’s very intimate and they damn sure picked the right artist to do it, because if you’re not a full artist, you can’t do that, you have to be a full-circle artist. You have to have everything, because it’s so intimate. And if there are any flaws, they will be spotted. So I suggest you be flawless.”
Lil Wayne has sold over ten million records in his musical career. Besides having the creditability, he has overshadowed the boundaries of Hip-Hop, Rock, and Pop. In essence, MTV decided that Wayne was the perfect choice for the next installment of their groundbreaking series. Wayne can now add this milestone to a long list of accomplishments he has gathered in his lifetime within the music industry.

At press time, MTV Unplugged presents Lil Wayne has been set to premiere across MTV2, MTV, and MTV.com on Sunday, June 12 at 9 PM ET/PT. The showcase will feature Wayne performing acoustic versions of select hits from his classic catalog.
