Diaz, Roberts, Cruise Grab Gold at MTV Movie Awards
June 4 -- The MTV Movie Awards gala was not so different from the prestigious Oscars it frequently spoofs this year. Though the hipster awards show still contained plenty of risky costumes and crude acceptance speeches, it did honor many of the same candidates that the Academy heralded in March.
Nominees Gladiator and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon scored big at MTV's Saturday ceremony, as did Oscar darling Julia Roberts. Gladiator was named Best Film by the music net's viewers, who vote on the awards, while Roberts claimed a trophy for Best Female Performance in Erin Brockovich.
Along with Roberts, the other big winner was action star Tom Cruise, who won the Best Male Performer award for Mission: Impossible 2. According to gossip columnist Jeannette Walls, Cruise arrived late — an hour into the show, just in time to grab his award — and looked grumpy. The action star was long gone by the time estranged wife Nicole Kidman gave her video presentation from Australia.
Saturday Night Live's elfin Jimmy Fallon and Bring It On's Kirsten Dunst opened the show with a parody of The Mummy Returns and riffed on fellow celebs like Adam Sandler — usually an MTV Movie Awards fave — and Madonna, as well as characters from films like Gladiator and Cast Away.
"I like how [the MTV show] is more easygoing. It's, like, our awards. It's younger," said American Pie's Mena Suvari, who was a presenter.
The Charlie's Angels crew (Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and Lucy Liu) won a golden popcorn trophy for best on-screen team of actors. Diaz arrived solo to accept the award, giving a bizarre acceptance speech about her co-stars and her aversion to wearing deodorant.
"Sorry I showed up without my other parts," she said, alluding to Barrymore and Liu's absence. "I haven't used antiperspirant in years, and I usually use them to sort of dab it on because they're about armpit height."
The Best Action Sequence award went to John Woo for the motorcycle chase in Mission: Impossible 2, the Best Fight award to Chinese newcomer Zhang Ziyi in Crouching Tiger, and the Best Kiss award to Julia Stiles and Sean Patrick Thomas in the hip-hop romance Save the Last Dance.
