MTV Movie Awards

As most of us know the MTV Movie awards took place about a week ago, and a ton went down. Now it seems like in every award show there is always someone who "sweeps" (or so to speak) the a majority of the major awards away. This isn't a surprise though, considering that if your goo enough to win even one of the major awards your probably capable of wining another one..or two..or how ever many.

This year was quite remarkable however. Shailene Woodly (rather new to the industry) has spontaneously come out of the wood work (no pun intended) and captured the eyes of thousands. Her particualr work in "The Fault in Our Stars" playing as the role of Hazel Grace Lancaster is what seemed to pull on the heartstrings of the world winning her awards such as best kiss, but what is even more extraordinary is how she grew from there.

After her heart wrenching role as Hazel Grace people just couldn't get enough (or at least I couldn't). This is what seemed to make her other very popular role as Tris in Divergent very popular, stringing along in even more fans. These two very strong roles combined earned her the title of the best actress as well. 

Now, along with "sweep" of awards, comedy seemed to follow suit as well. With stars such as the Rock and Kevin Hart announcing awards the awards really seemed to have the whole package. Now, some people don't see what the need for comedy skits is. I mean lets be honest, I didn't at first either. But after thinking it over, it makes complete sense. Thinking on award shows we always just think of, well just that. the awards. But the comedy has been just as much of a tradition on the show as the awards have. It's just another way to showcase the talent and (in some cases) a way to lighten up the mood. Comedy shows don't often receive awards for their efforts, but comedy is just as essential to us as the movies being nominated for the awards are, and it's great to have those brief showcases of that sort of talent as well, because it is just as important to us. Besides that who doesn't like to laugh once in a while to am I right? Sorry, I know this paragraph was a little off subject but while on the topic, I figured I would speak my mind on that wandering thought about it as well. 

Overall the awards were a success, as they always are. It was great to see such amazing talent grace the stage and receive awards we all know were well deserved. I don't know about you personally but its my dream to sit in at a live award show some time. To be able to see all of the amazing actors and actresses all on the same night, in the same room, all on the same stage, within a matter of hours. Talk about powerful. I could probably never afford it, but as they say, it's always nice to dream.
