MTV Movie Awards 2015: Things You Didn't See on TV

Robert Downey, Jr. said while accepting his Generation Award last night at this year's edition at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, "The first MTV Movie Awards was in 1992. And I said, 'Wow, that's my generation's version of the Oscars.'" That little gold, bald guy is still around, of course, but the network's celebration of all things pop-blockbuster-y has proved to be a brattier, more irreverent twist on the venerable, stuffy awards show. The night's first presenter, Furious 7's crooning Vin Diesel, came out to announce Best Female Performance. What you didn't see is that he spent so much time slapping hands with the pit crowd that he almost missed his cue to get across the stage before the clips ended. As Diesel read Shailene Woodley's name for Best Female Performance, the Nokia registered its first deafening scream from the cheap seats. It was a sign of things to come: The Fault in Our Stars would consistently get the biggest cheers, an early indicator that it would clean up.
