Bradley Cooper named Best Male Performer, while Emma Watson scoops Trailblazer award
He smiled graciously each time his competitor Daniel Day Lewis swept up the best actor awards at nearly the major ceremonies earlier this year. But Bradley Cooper was finally given his moment to shine as he picked up not one, but two, acting gongs at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday night in Culver City, California.
The 38-year-old, who plays a bipolar afflicted man in the David O. Russell hit, won Best Male Performance as well as Best Kiss with costar Jennifer Lawrence at the irreverent awards show.
The actor, who accepted the award from an elegantly dressed Melissa McCarthy, kept his speech short and to the point, graciously thanking his Jennifer and the rest of the Silver Linings cast.
Bradley came onstage a second time after winning for Best Kiss with Jennifer in the romance flick. Jennifer wasn't at the ceremony, so the actor accepted the award solo, stating, 'Jenn's not here but she was great to kiss.'
Emma Watson, meanwhile, scooped the award for Trailblazer for her work in movies such as Harry Potter and The Perks Of Being A Wallflower.
The actress was introduced by her My Week With Marilyn co-star Eddie Redmayne and Noah co-star Logan Lerman at the event at Sony Studios in Culver City, Los Angeles before Jonah Hill paid tribute to her via video.
Eddie said: 'We all fell in love with her as Hermione Granger and since finishing Harry Potter she has dumbfounded us with her brave and fearless choices.'
An emotional Emma, 22, admitted she was close to tears following the tributes and urged her fans to always follow their dreams.
'I look back at the work I've done over the last 14 years and many things come to mind. Most importantly how bad my hair was in the first Harry Potter film.'
'You have supported me in all of my awkwardness and allowed me to grow into the kind of actress and kind of person I want to be,' she added.
'I was the eager beaver in school, the first to put her hand up which is often not cool and I was teased mercilessly but I have learned if you put your heart into something amazing things will happen.
'I promise to keep making the best work I can for all of you.'
Jamie Foxx and Samuel L. Jackson picked up the gong for Best WTF Moment for the scene where they burn down the evil Candieland plantation in Quentin Tarantino's slavery-themed Django Unchained.
They were presented the award by funnymen Chris Rock and Adam Sandler, whose monologue was mostly bleeped out due to expletives.
The pair discuss the WTF moments they've experienced in the past. but most of what they say is bleeped out due to their use of expletives.
'I don't remember the name of the horse, but the guy's name was [BLEEP] Gosling,' said Adam at one point.
Will Ferrell picked up the Comic Genius award for his roles in such films as Anchorman and Elf.
In his speech, the comedian said, 'Here's the deal. I'm just a simple guy from Burbank, California. I had two basic dreams.
'First to one day hopefully be able to make people laugh.
The other dream to wake up every day and be able to dress myself exactly like Dennis Rodman.'
But then actress Aubrey Plaza ran onstage with #TheToDoList written across her chest, and tried to grab his award.
Will looked confused but gave her a shout out and said 'just like we rehearsed it.'
Tom Hiddleston scooped the award for Best Villain for his role in Marvel's The Avengers, while Rebel, who appeared to be doing a good job hosting, picked up the award for Best Breakthrough Performance.
'I only do this for the awards. That and cash money,' said the actress as she accepted her award.
'The only thing that would make this better is if Zac Efron took off his shirt right now and came and kissed me,' she said.
Zac, who presented her with the award, kissesd her, but kept his shirt on.
'Do you want to give me an Australian kiss now? It's like a French kiss but down under.'
Sure,' said Zac, who appeared to have missed the innuendo.
Rebel drew big laughs from the crowd as she was shown performing in the top films of the year, in scenes that were supposedly cut.
In one clip she was seen playing the 'Head Whore' in Les Miserables, singing in the background of Anne Hathaway's Oscar-winning song.
'When I researched my role, I discovered a lot of 19th century prostitutes suffered from "Itchy Tit,"' she explains to Tom Hooper.
Taylor Lautner scooped the award for Best Shirtless Performance, and he came onstage with a pillow strapped to his belly under his shirt.
'I'll be honest with you. I turned 21 recently. And I've been eating and drinking.'
He pointed to the topless shot behind him. 'That picture was taken a few years ago. The good old days. You could bounce a quarter off those things.
'For us shirtless actors out there. This is like winning an Oscar.'
Selena Gomez looked gorgeous in a red Indian-inspired chiffon dress as she performed her new song Here Come And Get It.
She engages in a half yoga, half dance performance as she sports a bejeweled tilaka on her forehead.
Her performance is reminiscent of Bollywood as she chants the lyrics: 'When you're ready, come and get it.'
The Avengers won for Movie Of The Year, presented by Brad Pitt, who looked cool and casual with his blonde hair tied back in a ponytail.
'What's the opposite of humbled?' asked writer Joss Whedon while accepting the award. 'We're Biebered to be standing here tonight.'
'I want to thank them for going off their meds long enough to be here tonight,' he said of the fans behind the stage.
He then thanked his producer for juggling producing The Avengers with going through puberty.
'From the first story board to the last sound tweak these people were amazing,' said Josh.
He ended by announcing a sequel will come in 2015.
MTV Movie Awards will be broadcast on MTV in the UK at 9pm on Monday 15th April.
