Destination: LA. It's work again. Some event called The Oscars...

I'm very excited. Undoubtedly the most prestigious and most revered of all award shows in the known universe -- and like most of you, I have been watching the Oscars on TV for as long as I can remember. There simply is no other awards show like it.

Los Angeles was a blast. A great city and home to the MTV Movie Awards.

For now, here's just some of the people we caught up with on this adventure... Read More...
