Welcome back to ‘The Week in Rock.’
Look out Oscar!
MTV held its first annual Movie Awards Wednesday night,
and it proved to be a memorable showcase
for star power, sass —
Here now, a look back at some of the highlights.
[Crowd cheering]
[Announcer] For the ‘Best Performances By Rock Stars.’
[On-screen] We’re not worthy!
[Announcer] The MTV Movie Awards.
[Upbeat electronic music]
[Crowd chattering]
Hi.
[Interviewer] Robert.
Hi darling, how are you?
I think this is the MTV —
if you just wave to them, yeah.
Hi. Who's this?
[Interviewer] MTV.
Oh, MTV. I love MTV.
This guy bench presses
500 pounds, I can tell that.
[Crowd laughing]
You see how I can identify —
hey, how are you?
My hero, man.
Hey!
[Off-camera] Where’s Rosie?
[Off-camera] Can we do a quick picture with Rosie?
Rosie, this is my grandmother.
Hi!
This is Ruth.
Hi.
Huh?
Where do we go?
“Did you know, Luke, that the
longest kiss in movie history
was four minutes and five seconds?”
And then, you pull out this stopwatch, and you go —
- See? Now wait, you can't film that. This is, like, a giveaway.
[Crowd cheering]
That's quite enough of that, thank you very much.
[Music playing]
[Producer] Coming to you, Chris, in 5, 4, 3, 2...
Just that spot over there, OK? Just that spot.
Backstage at the MTV Green Room.
Shoulders, relax.
[Connelly] I feel better already. - My forehead is cool.
[Connelly] Did a good job, up there.
[Downey Jr.] I did good.
I blew it last time.
Last time? When was last time?
Oh, that was the MTV Awards.
But it's the same thing,
different title, but more fun, you know.
[Connelly] The winner for ‘Most Desirable Male,’
Keanu Reeves.
How do you feel about winning this award?
[Reeves] It's very nice! Very nice.
Does it embarrass you a little bit?
Very much so, embarrassing —
What I dig about it is that people,
of all the choices that they had, you know, I mean,
just people taking the time out to do that, you know?
Just kind of got, I mean —
[Laughs]
It's nice. It’s, yeah, I’m just —
Well, enjoy yourself out there. Thanks for coming.
We got lots more, too. Stick around!
Luke Perry, Damon Wayans, Arnold Schwarzenegger,
and ‘Best Comedic Performance,’
when the MTV Movie Awards return.
[Producer] Let me get the release form. - [Crowd laughter]
Would you talk to Chris Connelly in the green room? It’s part of the show.
Yeah. - OK.
[Connelly] What does this award mean to you, John?
[Singleton] It means a lot. At first,
I thought that people, like, called in,
but it was real cool that they said a lot of —
like, 70 directors chose it.
So, I mean, that really makes me feel good.
You know, it means that
some people out there really respect
some of the things I'm trying to do.
[Connelly] And Eddie, what does
John's work mean to you?
[Murphy] When I saw [‘Poetic Justice’], it was the first movie I had seen in —
since ‘Kramer vs. Kramer’ that made me cry.
At the end, like, I was crying, and I tripped out.
[Connelly] Well, congratulations.
Good luck with ‘Poetic Justice,’ and good luck with ‘Boomerang.’
Oh, great [laughs].
You can get me checking my teeth.
[Connelly] You had fun here?
You had a good time?
Tonight?
Yeah! - It’s been great! It’s good.
This is really good.
I think it's motivating.
It's good for the film industry, and
I think it's great for people to hear —
for us to know what people like,
what they think about it.
[Schwarzenegger] Just remember one thing.
What’s that?
This is a taped show.
[Off-camera laughter]
So, I could have said, “Wait a minute” —
We're gonna inspect it. I will be in on the editing.
OK. - If I think that the applause
was not big enough,
they're gonna spice it up.
[Announcer] Five, five, check, one, one.
[Connelly] One of the nominees for ‘Best Villain,’
and a presenter for ‘Most Desirable Female,’
Wesley Snipes.
You look like you're having fun up there.
Yeah, I’m having a lot of fun.
Lot of fun, lot of fun, lot of fun!
[Upbeat music playing]
[Connelly] What do you think awards like these mean?
Do you think they're fun?
Fun that the voters are actual viewers?
[Perez] I mean, it's cool because, you know —
I mean, as an actor,
it gives you a really strong sense of
how your public, who actually pays your bill,
really feels about you, you know?
So, that's cool. I hope it goes on, you know?
[Crowd cheering]
You want your envelope?
Yeah, I think I have to have this.
[Laughs]
You're gonna get the real one backstage.
This isn't the real one? - No.
[Producer] In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...
Backstage at the MTV Movie Awards with
the winner for ‘Best Comedic Performance,’
‘City Slickers,’ Billy Crystal. How do you feel?
Well, I'm overwhelmed.
I'm so moved by the whole experience.
You look overwhelmed.
Yeah, it's —
No, it's a great —
You know, it's so much fun.
First of all, it's fun not to be hosting it,
and to let Dennis do it, and it's relaxed.
I love the sets, and it's a fun —
It's a good approach to an award show ’cause
it's just not taking itself too seriously,
and it's just interesting, here’s this —
You guys start with this moving around, I get crazy.
[Producer] OK, coming to you — I know, sorry.
[Camera person] And speed.
Get the melon out of the shot?
No [laughs].
I thought this was MTV! - Usually like the melon in the shot, right?
You don't care about stuff like that.
No, we like the melon to move.
That's the only insistence.
[Announcer] ‘Terminator 2: Judgment Day’!
[Crowd cheering]
[Connelly] So, how does it feel?
Is it fun to see your movie take home
awards from the viewers?
[Cameron] Well, that really counts.
They're the ones that voted for this.
I mean, they called in, and they liked the film.
Of course, we already know that
’cause we made a lot of money, too. So, you know [laughs] —
That's usually a very good sign.
It’s a good indicator. A good, solid indicator.
- [Furlong] I felt so bad because
I forgot to thank Arnold and Linda,
and they were great inspirations to me
on the whole movie, but I was so nervous.
I'm in front of, like, hundreds of people.
I'm like, “Oh god. Well, thank you. Bye.”
I'm, like, out of there.
[Connelly] Half of the winners for ‘Best Duo,’
Mike Myers, congratulations.
Well, thank you so much.
I promised myself I wouldn't cry.
And I won't, I won't cry.
I won't.
This is the what, the handy sky cam?
[Off-camera] The MTV cam.
Walking cam.
[Connelly] The presenter for ‘Best Villain,’
Ice-T, how are you?
Cool, and it's alright.
[Laughs] Is it by accident
that you’ve never played a villain in a movie,
or is that kind of intentional?
Oh no, I'm trying to get a villain role bad,
you know what I'm saying?
[Ice-T and Ice Cube laughing]
Me and Cube just finished a movie.
So, I get to play a bad guy, you know. So, it's cool.
[Upbeat music fades]
Let's go back, and do it again [laughs].
