Spike's 2010 SCREAM Awards

I'm a bit confused why this exists and why so many huge celebrities appeared, other than it being even more of a PR event than Comic-Con, but it's pretty impressive that they got Bill Murray in Venkman gear and Michael J Fox and Chris Lloyd in front of a delorean. I can only assume that all the famous people there got a nice pay check or were somehow contractually obligated to show up. Anyway, as far as the guest list and pointlessness it puts the MTV Movie Awards to shame.

Yeah it was fun to watch. The Bill Murray bit really was fucking great. Shame that True Blood seemed to take every caategory it was in. The year before that twilight took everything.

With Twilight & True Blood "winning" these "awards", i worry there's an entire generation coming up who thinks those things are real horror movies.

I can't believe that we, as viewers, haven't figured out that if they keep showing cast members from a certain show/movie, then they're going to win everything. I didn't even know the fucking thing happened yet, and it was so painfully obvious with how many times they show the fucking True Blood cast and that mopey bitch from Twilight that they were gonna win. At least MTV fills the audience with a bunch of vaguely famous people they could cut to as B-roll.

Well yes because of course they wouldn't show up unless they knew they are winning. Also im sure whoever votes on it doens't matter and they have some back room deal with whatever company....just had to type that out so people wouldn't think I was a moron.

Same with Spike's Guys' Choice Awards. Having Jessica Biel get up on stage this year and say she jerks off to guys was nice enough but the year before that, they had Mel Gibson giving David Fincher, Brad Pitt, and Ed Norton an award for Fight Club and then Clint Eastwood showed up for some lifetime achievement thing.

The MTV Movie Awards used to be pretty cool. I liked their categories like "Best Kiss" and "Best Fight" and the way they'd give the "Best Movie" award to something that was not just popular, but actually good, only not "prestigious" enough to get an Oscar for best picture. Examples: "Pulp Fiction", "Seven", and "Scream". Then it became just a popularity contest for movies that teens liked. When they gave the award to "Napoleon Dynamite", it lost all semblance of an award show where the awards had any credibility. Now they give "Best Movie" to flicks like "Transformers" and whichever "Twilight" movie comes out every year. Too bad.

I would like to see another award show pick up the slack and become what it used to be with fun celebrity appearances and awards being given to cool movies that just don't have the pedigree to win Oscars, but deserve some recognition. I thought the Spike Awards might pick up that mantle, but not as long as they give awards to things for simply being 'hip' without any consideration for their influence or quality.

Yeah, I have a bit of a problem believing Spike is the network for men when Twilight wins every award it's up for. But right off the bat with Mickey Rourke walking out from backstage to get his award, it made it obvious people who got awards were only there because they knew they would be. There was no "accepting this on so and so's behalf.". It was a "hey want to come get an award and have a party. Open bar!" kind of event.
