Is it just us or did Tom Cruise come across as massively sane, funny, and um almost cool tonight? Maybe it was the moment when we saw Tom chatting up "Tropic Thunder" buddy Ben Stiller. Or maybe it was when Katie Holmes sweetly wished him "good luck" before he made his way to the big stage. One of our favorite moments surely came when we saw Tom backstage with Sarah Jessica Parker. She practically looked like she was meeting royalty.

Then there was the big show where Tom won us over by repeatedly referring to MTV Generation Award winner Adam Sandler as "the Sandman." Tom Cruise has comic timing? You've come a long way from your couch jumping, Tom. Welcome back. (See pics of Cruise, Holmes and Sarah Jessica Parker after the jump!) Read more...

Before there was Mrs. Cruise, there was just a shy tomboy from Toledo. When we caught up with a then-19 year-old Katie Holmes on the set of "Go" back in April '98, we found an adorably innocent teen at the very beginning of her Hollywood career. In the clip below, watch Katie tell our MTV cameras about her high school prom experience and more, a fresh face completely unknowing of the media frenzy and public scrutiny her future would hold.

If you've been asking yourself, "I wonder if Katie Holmes is having second thoughts about picking 'Mad Money' over 'The Dark Knight,'" here's your answer: nope. Stating that she's "proud" of her work in the Diane Keaton/Queen Latifah heist comedy, Holmes did say that she's "excited" to see what former boss Chris Nolan makes of the Batman sequel. Watch her chat it up below, and then click here for more of our interview.
