Posted 8/26/11 2:55 pm EST by in Video Music Awards


Hunger GamesFROM NEXTMOVIE: We don't know about you guys, but we're glad all that drama between Kanye West and Taylor Swift is finally over, because now the MTV Video Music Awards can get back to focusing on what's really important: movies.

Oh, sure, the VMAs, which air this Sunday live on MTV at 9 p.m. ET, are technically about great music, incredible live performances and a celebration of the intersection of pop and culture. But for movie fans, there's a whole lot more to the VMAs than just awards or music -- there's also the video part.

And that means movie stars, which is why we've put together our second annual Movie Lover's Guide to the VMAs to help you keep track of all the Hollywood flavor on Sunday night.

Andrew Garfield, Jesse Eisenberg Met The REAL Justin Timberlake At The 2010 MTV VMAs

Posted 9/15/10 4:40 pm EST by in News, Video Music Awards


The 2010 MTV Video Music Awards happened this past Sunday, and it was a wildly successful event. Last year's show was almost entirely dominated by the infamous Kanye West/Taylor Swift showdown. This one was almost entirely drama-free, leaving fans time to focus on what really matters: the spectacle inherent in a large gathering of celebrities and the dynamite musical performances from a handful of the honored attendees.

Also on hand were Andrew Garfield, Jesse Eisenberg and Justin Timberlake, who were there to present an award and promote their upcoming film collaboration, Facebook founder biopic "The Social Network." Garfield told MTV's Rick Marshall in an interview yesterday that he and Eisenberg were completely floored when they were faced with the fact that their group's third, Timberlake, is in fact pop music royalty.

"Me and Jesse had known Justin from doing the movie with him, and we had known him as the actor, Justin Timberlake, one of us," Garfield said. "We were all in the same bandwagon together doing our thing, and then suddenly we were on stage. [Jesse and I] both had this moment where we were like, 'Oh, that's Justin Timberlake... right!'"

Kanye West VMA 2010 Performance Offers 'Runaway' Hints

Posted 9/13/10 8:00 am EST by in Video, Video Music Awards


Last night, just prior to the airing of the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards we premiered a clip from "Runaway," a "companion film" that will reportedly be included as a DVD with the special edition version of Kanye West's next, as-yet-untitled album. The clip is a jarring collection of visuals: there's a deer, a ballet dancer, a woman decked out in feathers and an explosion, complete with slow-mo walkaway. The imagery became a bit clearer later in the evening when Kanye took to the stage for his show-closing performance, which you can check out here right now.

I still don't know what to make of this thing, but I'm curious as hell to see it in full. You can find the "Runaway" clip that we premiered after the jump. Read More...

VMAs Take Over Paramount's Lot For Some Movie Magic Of Their Own

Posted 9/5/08 10:58 pm EST by in News


"Bum da bum bah!!" The music might not be playing, but the "Indiana Jones" theme is in the air. Everywhere you go at Paramount, there are ghosts — and not just because the Hollywood Forever cemetery is behind the lot. For the VMAs, we're working from the Crosby Building — named randomly for Bing Crosby, even though he had nothing to do with this space. But Indy did: His theme was scored here.

(See where the movie magic happens in this photographic tour of the Paramount lot.)

When the celebs arrive Sunday night, they'll be going through Paramount's Bronson Gate — one of the most widely recognized Hollywood landmarks. A common misconception is that it's named after Charles Bronson, although the reverse is true: He named himself after it or, rather, the street it's on, when he changed his name from Buchinsky.
