So after a full week of 12+ hour days and a wild show day it is just about over as I sit at LAX waiting to catch my flight back home to the Big Apple. It has been one hell of an adventure being on the back-lot at Universal Studios, making runs around the lot as MTV took over the Gibson Amphitheater for the show, and then working the pre-show followed by a much needed drink with the crew at the after party.
I am a little sad that in all of the craziness I completely missed the main show and have been catching up on various performances and clips as I sit here waiting for my flight to board. In the spirit of the show I wanted to share with you a few of my favorites, just in case you missed the show last night or if you wanted to catch them again.
So it is now day 4 on the Universal Studios backlot and we are in full swing. At the moment I cannot go into all of the craziness that will be happening but I am looking forward to sharing some behind-the-scenes stories with you shortly. But for now I wanted to give you a little of the craziness that is happening out here in Hollywood. Check out our red carpet build. The video below is a live stream from outside the Gibson Ampitheater and it will be running for 24 hours a day for the next 2.5 days (as today, Friday, is half over). We have been feeding the world wide web for the last 24 hours and the build is coming along. But watch the change over the next 24 hours as we near the start of show and then on sunday you can watch the Red Carpet as it happens.
Just a reminder: East Coasters remember the Red Carpet/Pre-Show starts at 8pm ET and the West Coast will have to check in at 5pm PT as the live feed WILL NOT be re-streaming over the web when the show airs for you at 8pm PT. You might even catch a sneak peek of the Jersey Shore Blow Out as the Jersey Shore cast will be hosting the Pre-Show.
So in preparation for the big event, I recently went through the nominees for this years MTV Movie Awards. I have to admit, I feel a little surprised by a few of the nominees, and even feel as those some great roles have been forgotten. However I do not know what the cut off date is set at for while films can be included for the 2010 awards, and which will be included in the 2011 Movie Awards. After going through the list of nominees is looks like the cut off is April, but if a film was included from the April 2 release weekend, I wonder if next year's Movie Awards will include any other April 2010 releases, or if Kick-Ass has been left in the dust (which I feel would be one of their greatest mistakes).
Well, aside from my own prejudice towards my hopes of Kick-Ass being a part of the nominee list, here are the lists which you can go a vote for your favorites at the MTV Movie Awards website.

Right now it is thought that the main competition is between Twilight and Avatar, but who do you think will take home the Popcorn? Is there a star you are looking forward to seeing either on the red carpet or during the show? With all of the MTV talent and other HOT celebrity talent the will be making their way to the Universal Studios backlot this Sunday I have to admit, I'm looking forward to see Shaun White, Adam Sandler, Anna Kendrick and Chris Rock. As far as winners go, I'm hoping that Twilight shares the wealth a little with some of the other nominees but if they do sweep the show lets just hope Kristen Stewart can hold on to her award this year.
