The 2013 MTV Movie Awards were last night (April 14), and it was an, um, interesting show–and a tumultuous one. For every highlight, there was something sort of awful or just really lackluster happening. Here are the best and worst moments from the 2013 MTV Movie Awards–and believe us, it was hard to narrow down the lists for both categories.
The Best 2013 MTV Movie Awards Moments:
Emma Watson’s Trailblazer Award
Okay, how adorable was Emma? And how gracious and sweet and elegant was she? Her tribute was moving, especially when you consider just how long she’s been in the business. And her acceptance speech was everything you’d expect it to be: Classy, professional and tender. You get it, girl!
Rebel Wilson’s Body Image Speech
Her message was great, and the fact that she presented it by showing off a few fake extra nipples ensured that people at least, on the surface, paid attention.
Macklemore and Ryan Lewis Perform “Can’t Hold Us”
Just when you were finally getting tired of “Thrift Shop,” Macklemore and Ryan Lewis blasted through “Can’t Hold Us,” and they brought the freakin’ house down. Seriously, they’re just so good–whether or not you’re a fan of their music, you can’t deny that these dudes delivered last night.
Quvenzhane Wallis’ + Tom Hiddleston’s Existence
Even when she was stuck being part of tacky skits (see the “Chlamydia” clip below), Quvenzhane Wallis remains flawless and adorable. Somehow it’s not even weird that a nine-year-old may have been one of the most mature and talented people in the building–and we love how she interacted with Chloe Grace Moretz, who was like a sweet older sis. And the fact that she presented best villain to Tom Hiddleston was sort of perfect. Because Tom Hiddleston? He’s pretty perfect, and he freakin’ thanked Liam Payne from One Direction in his speech. Love. Love. Love.
The Slew of Goodlooking, Hilarious Gentlemen
The Best Shirtless Performance presenters killed us, and having Brad Pitt and the cast of The Avengers onstage at the same time pretty much made us need to take a cold shower. We just wish Chris Hemsworth could have made it.
The Worst 2013 MTV Movie Awards Moments:
All the Fat Jokes
We’re stoked that Rebel Wilson is happy with her shape–we think she looks great! And we think it’s rad that she has a sense of humor about herself. But really, were the writers so desperate that these were practically all they could come up with to use when she introduced Melissa McCarthy?
MTV says that Aubrey Plaza crashing the stage during Will Ferrell’s acceptance speech for the Comedic Genius Award was unplanned and that she got kicked out afterward, but we’re not sure if we’re buying it–because no one really looked that surprised. The whole thing was not only unfunny, but just awkward to watch. We get it, Aubrey. You’re like, edgy! Not that Will’s speech was any better. He’s supposed to be a Comedic Genius, but we’re not sure what he was going for here: “LOL, they’re Asian?” Is that it? Whatever. Lame.
Slut Shaming Megan Fox
This whole casting couch bit was not only gross, but sexist. Instead of going after Megan Fox (who’s married with a kid no less), why not go after the skeevy producers and casting directors who proliferate this kind of stuff to go on? Or, if we’re just going to slut shame stars, why not go after men too? All those Hollywood gay rumors had to start somewhere, and we’re sure a lot of guys are just as desperate for fame as girls are. Plus, isn’t it just kind of a crummy thing to do to insult someone who isn’t there to defend herself? Tacky. We could forgive tacky if it were funny, but the joke didn’t even have that to salvage itself.
Selena Gomez’s Disaster
For all the hype Selena Gomez gave to her new song, “Come & Get It,” she couldn’t be bothered to sing it well at all live or on the backing track, and she’s referred to a song with visual and aural Indian influences as “tribal.” That insinuates that she’s confusing the culture of India with that of Native Americans, which is pretty ignorant. (If you’re gonna do cultural appropriation, at least do it right.) On the bright side? She looked beautiful.
Zac Efron Being a Tease
C’mon, bro. Why couldn’t you take off your shirt just this once?
