As of today, the MTV News team is up and running at Universal Studios, home of the 2009 MTV Movie Awards! Preparation for the big show is well underway, and MTV News got the lay of the land this morning. After our 8:30 a.m. production meeting with "Hills" star and MTV News Movie Awards weekend guest host Frankie Delgado, the whole team headed up to the Gibson Amphitheater for a walkthrough of the main show.
Tim, Frankie and Sway hung out outside the the Gibson before our tour of the venue.
Inside, the set-build was in full swing. The lights were dim, and the monitors were flashing bright colors, lighting up to room.
We've got a lot coming down the pike today, including an interview with Movie Awards host Andy Samberg and a conversation with best fight nominee Danny McBride, as well as chats with the main show production designers. Plus, we're going kickboxing with "Hills" star and MTV Movie Awards weekend guest host Lo Bosworth!
It's a busy day, so keep checking back for lots of updates. We are your ticket to backstage sneak peeks all week!
