With the MTV Movie Awards wrapped up and the winners basking in the glory of their golden popcorn, we couldn't help but wonder about all the talented actors, filmmakers, and musicians who shared success in this year of movies — even if they didn't score at the big show last night.

Looking at past Movie Awards and the category changes that have emerged, it's interesting to wonder who might have left the Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles last night with an award to their name. What if Best On-Screen Duo still existed, for example? Would that have been an instant victory for Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis? That's the question we're tackling after the jump as we get into full-on daydreaming mode about the Movie Awards categories of yesteryear and the stars of 2011.

Best On-Screen Duo (1992-2006)
Mila and Natalie showed some real intense chemistry on screen in "Black Swan." While the on-going competition and jealously between the two dancers may make them seem like candidates for worst enemies, how can anyone forget their awesome hook up scene after a night of crazy drugs, dancing, and booze? They might've lost Best Kiss, but they'd definitely get our vote for best duo!

During Sunday night's MTV Movie Awards, Justin Timberlake proved just how "totally platonic" his relationship with Mila Kunis was when he groped her like a crowdsurfer at Ozzfest.

Of course, Kunis was all too happy to return the favor, going low and grabbing JT's junk while the two — who, it should be noted, star in the upcoming comedy "Friends With Benefits" (and whose relationship has been the subject of much speculation in the past) — announced the nominees for "Best Male Performance."

Not surprisingly, in the hours following the Awards, Kunis and Timberlake's rather, uh, unique embrace became the most-searched thing on the Internet, and since the zeitgeist clearly loves some good old fashioned genital-groping, we'd be remiss if we didn't point out the fact that, over the years, MTV's award shows have basically set the standard for inappropriate touching ... we're sort of pioneers in that regard.

So, with Mila's and Justin's pawing still fresh on everyone's mind, here's a look back at some of the most inappropriate touches in MTV award-show history.

We still don't know much about Sam Raimi's mysterious forthcoming film, "Oz The Great And Powerful," but the fact that James Franco and Mila Kunis are set to star has our curiosity decidedly piqued. As such, when we stopped by the press day for "Your Highness" recently, we had to ask Franco for some details about the film, particularly what tone Raimi is taking with his trip into "Oz" and his thoughts on his co-star.

“It will have a lot of humor," Franco said, adding that he's very excited to work with Kunis on a big project. "I’ve done two small things with her. I’ve done something for Funny Or Die, a spoof of 'The Hills' TV show, and then we did a little scene in 'Date Night.' She’s great, I love working with her."

Mila KunisMila Kunis is ready to don her ruby red slippers and fly away to Oz.

Variety is reporting that, after many months of will she, won't she rumors, the "Black Swan" star is officially set to play Theodora in "Oz, the Great and Powerful." James Franco has already signed on board for the title role, which makes Kunis the second star in the film that will be directed by Sam Raimi. Her character is a former good witch who, after having her sexual advances jilted by Oz, ends up joining with her wicked witch sisters.

After the jump, find out which two action heroes will be facing off again, who has joined "The Dark Knight Rises" and what Jennifer Lawrence has to say about "The Hunger Games."

Sorry, "Oz" enthusiasts — Mila Kunis might not be so wicked after all.

The "Black Swan" actress, cruelly absent from the Best Supporting Actress nominees at last night's 83rd Annual Academy Awards, was recently reported as having signed on for "Oz the Great and Powerful," the James Franco-starring and Sam Raimi-directed "Oz" prequel focusing on the charming and conniving "wizard."

But her status on the film is far from official, it seems. When MTV News spoke with Kunis on the red carpet at the Oscars last night, the actress candidly revealed that she's not sure about her trip to "Oz."

Mila Kunisby Patrick Hester

It wasn't long ago that we heard James Franco was in talks for the title role in "Oz The Great and Powerful," and now comes word that a very wicked Mila Kunis might traverse the yellow brick road as well.

According to Vulture, director Sam Raimi and tenatative wizard Franco approached Kunis for the part of Theodorah, the younger sister of Evanorah who eventually becomes the Wicked Witch of the West. After their meeting, Kunis was agreed upon as perfect for the part, so much so that based on her involvement, Franco officially agreed to do the picture.

The report remains unconfirmed, but if true, it's certainly a big step in the right direction for the long-developing Disney flick.

"Black Swan" and Jim Carrey might not sound like the ideal pairing of actor and material, but thanks to the "I Love You Phillip Morris" star's hosting gig on "Saturday Night Live," we now know that it's a match made in comedy heaven. Carrey spoofed Mila Kunis as Lily, aka the titular black swan, in a short, while Bill Hader played ballet instructor Tomas and Nasim Pedrad played Natalie Portman's Nina.

Let's just say that Carrey's Lily convinced us in several different ways that "she" was the best choice for the black swan. Somewhere between the buffalo wing tattoos on Carrey's back, the way he said "bitches" and the way he ate breadcrumbs (you know, like a real swan), we fell in love. Read More...

Sharing steamy big-screen sex scenes with "That '70s Show" alums is starting to become a bit of a trend for Natalie Portman.

Portman kicked things off this December with a very well publicized scene in "Black Swan," in which she and "That '70s Show" starlet Mila Kunis engage in a little girl-on-girl lovin'. Now, thanks to the red-band trailer for the raunchy rom-com "No Strings Attached" (not to be confused with Kunis and Justin Timberlake's "Friends With Benefits"), movie fans can drink in various shots of Portman and erstwhile "'70s" star Ashton Kutcher in the throes of semi-nude coital ecstasy. As an extra-special treat for the ladies, the trailer closes with a close-up of Kutcher's bare buttocks.

The "That '70s Show" connection aside, however, "Black Swan" and "No Strings Attached" couldn't be more different (please contain your shock). Read More...
