As most people would have expected, The Hunger Games brought home the most major trophies from the MTV Movie Awards. Although, some of the other huge franchises had strong showings as well. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 took home the golden popcorn statues for Best Cast and Best Hero, while Twilight: Breaking Dawn, Part 1 took home the award for Movie of the Year and Best Kiss between Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.
But with Harry Potter finished and Twilight set for its final installment, The Hunger Games is clearly the fan favorite at the moment. The first episode of what is believed to be a four-film series based on Suzanne Collins' best-selling trilogy brought home the third highest gross for a weekend opening in movie history. And Jennifer Lawrence, as central character Katniss Everdeen, holds the record as the highest grossing film heroine of all-time.
Unlike the rest of the top 200 action films of all time, The Hunger Games features a female character as the hero in the first movie - and throughout the dark series.
In addition to strong performances from the films noted above, other notable awards went to Johnny Depp, with the MTV Generation Award and Jennifer Aniston, with the Best On-screen Dirtbag Award. Aniston brought home the tongue-in-cheek award for her surprising performance in Horrible Bosses as a dirty-talking, sex-crazed dentist.
Russell Brand hosted the awards show for MTV, landing solid jokes at the expense of Michael Fassbender, for his full-frontal nudity, as well as Kim Kardashian, for being Kim Kardashian.
