Obviously there is zero separation between the video and the song in terms of awards. Is it really possible or just a weird coincidence that the "best" videos always match up with top-10 songs? Come on already, there wasn't one nomination-worthy video with a crap (and by crap I mean not top-10 because we all know that there is a lot of actual crap at the top of the charts) song? And MTV doesn't even play videos anymore, right? At least they make them sing live so we can tell just how "produced" they really are.

Even Johnny Cash?

Props to Coldplay for being the only performers (that I noticed) that acknowledged the person who actually made the video. Was Beyonce singing? It did not look that way to me. I'm not sure her choreography allows it.

MTV2 Award? What the hell is that? It looked like it may have been an award for an actual video, given the nominees.

And I agree with not gay, anttwat that the Madonna/Britney kiss looked forced. When I look at the still photo, it looks pretty hot. The memory of seeing it in action ruins it for me, though.

Edit: This is causing me to reconsider some of the spreads in my Swank collection.

At least we were watching the same show. Beyonce was NOT singing, in fact, I read somewhere some journalist gave her the award for worst lip-synching last night.

That was the saddest part. MTV giving an award to one of the best videos of the year (in critics opinions) and they never played it on MTV.

Did Johnny get an award then (or that video anyway)? They played that on MTV. I like that video, and him singing the song. When I am moody it makes me cry, in a good way.

I was saying the same thing. OK, Kelly, good singer - video - boring.

My first impression last night was - hey those songs are OLD. Nelly? Eminem? Those are almost 2 years old now.

Ooooooh Narcy. Now you are plagarising me:

From Post 20960:

It must have been a pretty slow year for bad music b/c the only new faces where the QE chaps. It was like a two-year old rerun.

Freak.

I saw Duran Duran in concert three or so years back (it was only Simon LeBon and Nick Rhodes and some other guy who'd been with the band for 10 years but no one knew because he joined after their star faded), and they were looking okish, not as bad as last night, but certainly not the heartthrobs of my pre-pubesence.

I Tivoed the last half of the show last night, and scrolled through to see their award. I felt sort of bad for them, because it was obvious that half the crowd could have cared less that they were on stage or got the award. I suspect that PLF was behind the sound not working for the video montage.

And why Kelly Osbourne? After seeing Duran with Justin Timberlake on the after-show I think they should have allowed him to give them the award -- hell, they should have let him suck off each one of them onstage not only because he so much wanted to but because it would have allowed him to try to outdo the Britney/Madonna kiss and thus continue the Britney/J.Tim spat. What did Kelly's shirt say? "Young, willing and eager" or something like that? How about "ugly, bitchy and talentless"? I am so happy that the Ozman drugged his brain into submission years ago and doesn't have a clue about the debacle that is his daughter (his son is so freaky that it must cut through the haze..poor Ozzy). Was I the only one who caught a glimpse of the Hilton sisters in the audience? Even my know-nothing prole husband said "isn't that those Hilton girls? Whoa, they've been ridden hard and put away wet."

To those who wonder when it will be on again I would just like to point out that the first replay was at 11:30 last night immediately following the after-show. Don't worry, you will get more than one opportunity to see it....again and again and again.

edited to say that the Johnny Cash thing was obviously thrown in to drum up interest. They had no intention of giving an award to Johnny Cash. And then J.Tim saying that him winning over Cash was a travesty -- yes, it was you little freak. You would think he would have downplayed his "gangsta 'tude" after Chris Rock so clearly called him out for it.

Lengthening my post to add that I think Beyonce lipped some of it and sang some -- I think the production of songs today where they overlay the voices so much makes this necessary if the song is going to sound even remotely like what you hear on the radio. Not defending Beyonce though -- Jay-Z carried her. I kept wondering if her boobies would fall out of that gold dress she wore when accepting awards.

Cause I am the coolest admin in the whole wide world, I went out and found a video of this and uploaded it for you people to ogle.

See the video here.

Obviously this has sound, and picture, and you need microsoft media player for it to work.

I'm not one of those chicks that ever swooned for him (or Damon for that matter).

I also happened to see clips of him throwing out the pitch on Entertainment Tonight, or some such, earlier this week and they were trying to spin the whole local-boy thang like anyone around Boston gives a shit. My experience in the crowd just confirmed the obvious -- no one does.

Fortunately all the cancer-survivor kids got nice rounds of applause for their pitches.

He recieved an award, but it was for best editing or something equally silly.

During the past couple of weeks he has been getting a lot of press for being "rediscovered," while us hipsters have been listening to cool Cash stuff like Folsom Prison Blues since like, you know, forever, or at least since he was on Columbo.

You really are the coolest admin in the whole world. Except for the fact that I actually watched this again and had to listen to that screetchy baby voice again - and the forced kiss, and the snarky shots of Justin trying to not look like he cares. But the boots! Yes, I forgot the boots. I love those boots!

Okay, That one line is all I can make out in that wretched song. Anyway, here's info on the next Survivor --

The 18 people stranded on two islands Survivor Pearl Islands won't be bringing luxury items, extra clothes, or even bathing suits. Instead, the two tribes -- named after pirates, Captain Henry Morgan and Sir Francis Drake -- will be stranded on two different islands "with only the clothes on their backs," as E! Online reports. CBS also revealed the two tribes today: The Drake tribe includes three people who are 29 years old, a "troubled teens mentor" who looks like Peter Jackson meets Hagrid, and an Eagle Scout. The Morgan tribe has its own scout, includes a 51-year-old "scout troop leader," in addition two guys named Ryan and an attorney who once represented Jerry Springer's show. The oldest survivor is 51 and the youngest is 22. The show debuts Sept. 18 with a 90-minute episode.

And here is the link to the CBS page about it -- http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor7/
