In what has become the standard opening act for MTV awards shows, Jason Sudeikis went on a pop culture odyssey in search of Taylor Lautner, who got lost in a The Hangover Part II homage. On the way, Sudeikis strolled through scenes from “The Social Network and “Black Swan” (which may have been a hint as to the winners of tonight’s “Best Kiss” award. Am I too obsessed with this award? Let me know!)

Ultimately, Lautner was found playing videogames in the forest with the monk from The Hangover sequel. He made it back to introduce Sudeikis to the audience, but not before he had his own truly creepy voyeur moment in Nina Sayers’ bedroom doorway, because apparently it’s scientifically impossible to air that “Black Swan” clip too many times.

Watch the opening clip in its entirety via MTV below:

I thought this was pretty much a non partisan article, nothing to do with “the war”. A majority of us under 45 (I am 40), both Democrats and Republicans, grew up with MTV for better or worse in our lives, even if we hated it. I haven’t been able to stand MTV since the mid 1990′s, but it rocked my world for awhile in the late 1980′s.

Thank you. I remember years ago reading that MTV had two choices, grow up with the original fans of the 1980′s and early 1990′s, or decide to be perceptually young and changing, casting off their fans as they get older for a whole new generation. Obviously MTV picked option number two. VH1 and later MTV2 were suppose to appease us older folks, but it didn’t work out in the long one

I was silly enough to actually try to try out for being a contestant on “Remote Control”. I failed but I was given a consultation t shirt (still have it). Too bad I ended up not being a contestant on TV as i could of met Remote Controls own “Studboy” Adam Sandler just as he was beginning his career.

Those days didn’t even have the internet, or at least in any shape or form as today. Simpler and more naive days indeed.

I deal with that I’m getting old” feeling a lot. The avatar I use was taken two months ago of me so at least I must be doing something right. Traditional societies, as people aged , transitioned into sages, into wise men and women. They were the repository of knowledge which guaranteed survival for the tribe. America’s cult of youth has its drawbacks. Advertising the past 100 years seems to be partially responsible, as youth are more impressionable (I was). Damn you Don Draper!

The MTV Movie Awards are the last thing I ever really sat down to watch on MTV, and that was i think about 5 years ago. The MTV Movie Awards seem to be the most redeeming thing left concerning MTV. I realize if I was 18 maybe I would differ in opinion.

BTW, Sorry if I made anyone feel old. It’s just something I am having an inner battle with.

Gloria Swanson gets her lifetime achievement award .

That was too funny. My late grandmother and even my mom would have appreciated your joke.
BTW, MTV forgets the mid 1990’s existed ever existed, the mid 1920’s could have happened in Pompeii for all they know. And “Sunset Boulevard ” may hit to close to home as it may predict the future of many all to well.

Gloria Swanson was beautiful, and lived long enough to see the beginning of MTV. I wonder if she ever got to watch it. I just looked up more info on her and found out Swanson was friends of Jon Lennon and Yoko!
