2009 MTV Movie Awards

Tonight, the 2009 MTV Movie Awards will be broadcast live from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California.  Saturday Night Live cast member, Andy Samberg, will host the ceremony and I’m pretty confident that he’s going to do a good job.

I won’t even try to list all of the presenters but Eminem and Kings of Leon are set to perform.  Here’s the list of nominees – I will come back and update this post after the show to highlight the winners.  For most of these, it’s hard to guess who will win but I do hope that Robert Downey Jr. is recognized for his role in Iron Man and I want Slumdog Millionaire to get something too.
