So I was ranting that the MTV Movie Awards wouldn't be shown on UK TV, but they will (Channel 5, 22nd June - thanks, Annabel!), and the good ship Anneka, being the charitable bird she is, took minutes of the awards show just for me. Great, you're thinking, why are you going on about this, britpopbaby? Well, Anneka is fucking funny and thus her detailed record of the MTV Movie Awards is fucking funny and should be read by all.
There may be some words in there that non-UK residents might not understand - 'cuppa' means 'cup of tea' - but go with it. And laugh. You deserve it.
Hello!
Firstly, I apologise for the randomness. I was going to occupy my time today by making brownies but then discovered I didn’t have the right sized baking tin and so had to turn to TV for help. I watched Neighbours and then the MTV Movie Awards came on. And I was bored and my hand was itching – to write, not because of some rash - and I’m supposed to be finding inspiration for some poetry competition so I got my pen and pad and started writing random comments on the afore-mentioned awards. Mostly, I am missing you and hoping that you are missing me. So I thought I’d send them to you, so it can be like we’re watching TV together again. Even though we’re not. And that makes me sad. Anyway, enjoy!

My first problem – the slightly retarded Sky+ has missed the beginning of the show so I’m immediately confused. However, my awesome brainpower and powers of deduction inform me that Topher Grace, Jessica Alba and some dude I am later informed is Flavor Fave (Tim probably knows who he is) are doing a spoof of Mission Impossible III, involving a water pistol full of Topher’s urine. I’m beginning to think being a writer isn’t as difficult as it’s cracked up to be.
1 minute
Jessica Alba’s head explodes. YAY!!!!!
2 minutes
Credits inform us that Jake Gyllenhaal will be playing “Jake”. Jake’s here? Now I’m REALLY excited.
3 minutes
Jessica Alba is back, unfortunately with head intact.
7 minutes
Brandon Routh (the new Superman) tries to beat Tom Welling(Smallville) for the most wooden Superman ever. Welling wins in a photo finish.
10 minutes
Our first shot of Gyllenhaal Jnr, wearing grey shirt, looking good. He laughs at Christian Bale’s (HOT!) joke about Batman being more badass than Superman. Which is totally true. Next to Jake, some random separates him from Jessica Simpson. At least, I think it’s a random, don’t yell at me if it’s someone I should know, though to me she looks like a random. Lemme know if I should know better. Anyway, Aforementioned Random looks at Jake lovingly, like “Ohmigod, we’re like, TOTALLY laughing at the same thing. We should be, like, soulmates”. This makes me think she’s a competition winner. Although knowing my luck I’m probably wrong and it’s his cousin.
18 minutes
Isla Fisher of ‘The Wedding Crashers’ is up for Best Breakthrough. Does ‘Home and Away’ count for nothing these days?
19 minutes
Obviously not as Isla Fisher wins and has to sideways crab up the steps in a hideous dress.
20 minutes
Colin ‘Captain Slaphead’ Farrell blatently regrets the day he agreed to star with Jamie Foxx who comes on stage yelling “WHAT UP! WHAT UP!!” And then beatboxes. Twat.
20 minutes 30 seconds
Shot of Jake doing a furrowed eyebrow laugh at Colin Farrell announcing the category as Best Fight. Not sure why. Were they ever in a fight? Bet Farrell won. He looks like a biter. And a kicker. I’m still confused about who is sitting next to Jake. Lil help?
21 minutes
Jamie Foxx slips up saying to Jessica Simpson “Don’t send Nick after me”. Does he not read Heat? Oh yeah, I forgot, he’s a blind musician...What do you mean he was acting?
22 minutes
Colin Farrell looks v. uncomfortable as Jamie Foxx puts his arm around him.
23 minutes
Eva Mendes and Justin Trousersnake come onstage. Jake can’t be far behind. The Voice-over man informs us that Trousersnake’s new album is called Future Sex Love Sound. One thought: WTF?
23 minutes 30 seconds
Eva and Trousersnake joke about “ranch hands who get jobs”. Give you three guesses where that went. Yup. At the mention of “ranch hand-jobs”, Jake looks a little taken aback, wriggles uncomfortably in his seat and mutters “Wow”. Twice. You’re gonna be sorry Trousersnake. You’re gonna go for a short walk down a long alley with Sarsgaard and Heath Ledger for that comment.
24 minutes
Trousersnake obviously realises his mistake as he has to turn around away from the camera. Or is all this homosexuality a little close to home for him…hmmmm. Jake mutters summat unintelligible and raises his hands in a “What can I do to make this gimp stop?” gesture.
25 minutes
In a clip of Just Friends, Anna Faris kisses her co-star (unfortunately not Ryan Reynolds – HOT!) like Lea kissed Glyn on Big Brother. I promptly lose my shredded wheat and honey. What? The dog ate all my crumpets!
25 minutes 30 seconds
Voice Over man says “Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger” in a sexy voice as we are treated to a clip from a little film you might have heard of called Brokeback Mountain. Shot of Mr Twist by a pick-up truck. Heath bombs down some stairs towards him. I wonder what’s going to happen next. There isn’t long to wait as Heath launches himself at Jake, throws him against a wall and sticks his tongue down his throat. Jake looses his hat. Phew, is it me or is it hot in here? Jen from Van der Beek’s Creek watches in horror, thinking “He’s the father of my children”. Oooh, and in real life too. What a coincidence!
25 minutes 45 seconds
Brangelina up for best kiss. That’s some cold shit.
26 minutes
Eva opens her envelope. There would probably be suspense if I didn’t know Jake was getting it. Trousersnake leans over her shoulder and nods in approval as he says “It’s the fellas”. Eva screeches “Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger”. Jake is leaning forward in his seat, managing to look both pleased with himself but also pissed that he has to be within two feet of Trousersnake and his preppy jumper. Jake gets up, nodding and jogs up the stairs. Who’s idea was it to put him in the front row? Genius! He finger-points and makes eyes at Trousersnake like “I gotta shake his boy-hand” (note: not a euphemism). He successfully manages to keep a lotta space between them as he shakes his boy-hand. Then in true hilarity, gives him a “Talk to the hand” and goes for Eva with ferocity, kissing her cheek. Eva hands him his popcorn. And then, in true frat boy - sorry, I meant twat boy – style, Trousersnake slaps Jake’s ass and starts clapping his own genius. Jake gives him uber-evils and mentally puts him on his list, next to Sarsgaard for the Mr Mistoffelees incident.
Jake takes his place at the podium. I’m getting images of a Presidential Jake some way in the future. Fiddling sexily with his shirt sleeves, which are rolled up, he says that he told Heath that if they didn’t get Best Kiss, it wasn’t worth it. He pauses, smiles naughtily and says “It’s worth it now” and nods sincerely, as if he’s remembering just how good Heath tasted. The Random who was sat next to him starts clapping and cheering. Now I’m thinking it could be his Mum, but she looks too young. Jessica Simpson looks uncomfortable, so maybe she is a random. Or maybe Jessica Simpson just doesn’t like all this talk of homosexuals.
Jake repeats “Yeah, it’s definitely worth it.” Everyone laughs, except Trousersnake, who laughs at least two seconds after everyone else has finished. Jake says this is a huge honour and a big deal that this kiss got voted the best. Trousersnake claps after everyone else. Except Eva Mendes who doesn’t clap at all. Is she a homophone too? She and Jessica could get together, do each other’s hair and rag on the gays.
Jake thanks me (and everyone else watching I suppose) from those struggling with love, including himself. Ooooooh. Is he giving something away? Is he gay? Does he like boys? I’m beginning to sound like Toothy Tile so I’ll stop. He’s probably just struggling with his love for britpopbaby. Or the restraining order.
Trousersnake comes up to congratulate Jake, doing the “You da man!” finger gesture. Jake blows him off. Like I needed another reason to like Jake. Now I can add “hates boy-man Trousersnake” to “funny, sexy, famous” and “American”. Trousersnake has his hand on Jake’s shoulder as they leave, Eva tagging along behind.
28 minutes
Jimmy Fallon starts a spoof of the Da Vinci Code with Jessica Alba. He carries off the hair better than Tom Hanks.
30 minutes
Andy Dick is an albino. Who knew?
39 minutes
Adverts. WTF is Busta Rhymes advertising? Something about a Big Bang? I’m intrigued and confused. And I probably won’t understand when it’s revealed either.
42 minutes
Gnarls Barkley perform “Crazy” with a Star Wars theme, including Chewbacca on the drums, a stormtrooper on bass and Darth Vader on lead vocals. I bet George Lucas is spinning in his grave...What do you mean he’s not dead?
46 minutes
Owen Wilson calls Kate Hudson in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days evil. He’s not wrong.
47 minutes
How come Angelina isn’t up with Darth Vader and Voldemort for Best Villain? Oooooh BURN!
48 minutes
It appears some seagull has unfortunately shat on Hayden Christensen’s hat. Why didn’t someone tell him? We cannot see his face under his shit-covered hat. Perhaps it’s not him. I don’t know why I’m making a note of this as I don’t really care.
49 minutes
Famke Janssen’s dress is hideous.
49 minutes 30 seconds
Shot of Jake seeming embarrassed by Famke and Rebecca Romain threatening to get naked and paint each other. He hides his face in his hands, murmuring Heath’s name over and over again to ward of the witches.
51 minutes
Both Jessica Alba and Jessica Simpson are up for Sexiest Performance. Bet Jessica Simpson jumped out of her chair when she heard “Jessica” and then sat back down a bit sharpish when she heard “Alba”. Ha ha ha!
60 minutes
Shot of Jake in Brokeback Mountain for Best Performance. The bit where he’s wearing his hideous moustache and fighting with Heath by the river before they say goodbye forever and he gets his head smacked in. That bit is followed by a shot of Jake by the fire with some glorious mood lighting. Then a shot of Jake driving off, crying to the sounds of You and Me by Lifehouse. I feel my eyes welling up.
61 minutes
Kate ‘Yes, I was once English’ Beckinsale reads out Jake’s name and the crowd goes wild. Cup hands and roar softly to get this effect. Jake is chortling as he jogs up the stairs - happy to be minus the Trousersnake probably. Hugs Becks with one arm and takes the popcorn she offers him. That’s his second one of the night! He’s gonna have to loosen his belt. And remove his trousers. And the rest of his clothes.
Jake shakes the hand of Becks’ co-host Adam Sandler and is a bit surprised when Sandler goes in for a whisper/hug combo. Jake gives him a happy look. The President takes to his podium. Even Jake cannot help but admire himself as his picture is on the big screen. He gives the screen a “You da man!” finger-point. And you are Jake, you are.
Cupping his popcorn protectively, he says “This is an embarrassment of riches”. Then as he continues, tries to twist the top off his popcorn. It’s not a toy Jake, it’s an award. Treat it with the respect it deserves. He congratulates the room on being attractive – Becks and Sandler only clap when he includes his finger-points at them. He thanks me again then steps away from his presidential podium with a “What more can I say?” gesture. Sandler shakes his hand and says summat. Jake gives a “Oh, it was nothing” gesture so I’m guessing it was something like “Man, you rocked ass in that movie”. Once again, Becks trails behind the guys as they leave the stage.
65 minutes
Jessica Alba makes a complete fool of herself in a spoof of King Kong in which she is an estate agent trying to sell Kong a cliff house. Let’s hope Fantastic Four 2 can save her career.
66 minutes
Christina Aguilera combines jazz and half naked women. Who could have expected that?
69 minutes
Christina Aguilera gets half naked herself. We all expected that.
71 minutes
The random between Jake and Jessica Simpson has been replaced by a new random. Seat-filler stalking at its best.
78 minutes
MTV confuses me by having Will Ferrell come on pretending to be a NASCAR driver for his new film. Should have guessed they weren’t actual NASCAR drivers - his mate is sponsored by Old Spice.
81 minutes
Steve Carrell of The 40 Year Old Virgin thanks George Foreman for his grill in his speech.
82 minutes
LL Cool J comes on stage to the sound of his own song. Like it says in High Fidelity, that’s like masturbation. According to Alex, he’s also wearing clothes from his own label. Uber masturbation.
89 minutes
Owen Wilson bitches about Brokeback Mountain getting best kiss over him and Vince. Shot of Jake chortling away, obviously thinking “There’s no way in hell they could have won Best Kiss, so it’s pointless putting him on my list next to Trousersnake and Saarsgard”.
94 minutes
MTV spoils the surprise by letting me know that Jim Carrey is getting the Lifetime Rubber-Face award after the break.
95 minutes
Advert for Hogan Knows Best that shows Hulk Hogan eating a monkey. Again, not a euphemism.
100 minutes
Will Ferrell says he’d rather give a Virginity Award to a whore than a Lifetime Achievement Award to Judi Dench. He mocks our Queen, he spits on our Queen, he…what do you mean Judi Dench isn’t the Queen? Then who is?...Elizabeth who?
103 minutes
Jim Carrey says there’s nice looking pussy in the room. Catherine Zeta Jones – the rich, nympho man’s Imogen from Big Brother – thinks he’s talking about her. Boy is she misinformed.
104 minutes
Jim Carrey seems to be channelling Keanu Reeves as he has his surfer hair. And is surrounded by angels…What do you mean Keanu Reeves isn’t dead?
106 minutes
Carrey and some angels perform “The Happy Dance of Genitalia”. And it was good.
109 minutes
Samuel L. Jackson is in a film called Snakes on a Plane. Sounds like Trousersnake, after thinking up Future Sex Love Sound, was giving out advice on what to call projects. Bad advice.
110 minutes
Adrian Brody’s nose fills up the screen, obliterating Naomi Watts. Yeah, I don’t really care anymore either. I haven’t had a cuppa in about 110 minutes. I’m off.

Hilarious is all I can say. She's mocking in a stylish way the entire award show.This is exactly the kind of comment I love.Ironizing, making fun of everything less than clever. the Jessica thing, the performance of Christina X-tina..LMAO!!
Then in true hilarity, gives him a “Talk to the hand” and goes for Eva with ferocity, kissing her cheek. Eva hands him his popcorn. And then, in true frat boy - sorry, I meant twat boy – style, Trousersnake slaps Jake’s ass and starts clapping his own genius. Jake gives him uber-evils and mentally puts him on his list, next to Sarsgaard for the Mr Mistoffelees incident.
Genius.
Read the MTV account by Anneka and I thought you wrote it Britpopbaby. Anyway, have to say you are both talented writers. I think you should team up and start writing comedy. I get my daily laugh by reading Jake Watch. Love it.
The account was funny as hell but it did remind me of those tacky BBM-jokes that I'd tried to forget...and Justin...idiots.
It's like water cooler talk, where people are recounting TV shows & sports games they watched the night before (which saves me the trouble & time of having to watch them). I've imagined Jake as sort of straddling two different worlds right now. He's got to show his appreciation for the awards voted to him by the young MTV viewers, but at the same time, he's long been moving into the territory of a serious actor. He's managing this transition with graciousness & tact (except for the occasional fit of sillyness, as at the SAGs). And he's shown respect all along for "Brokeback Mountain," which really did look rather odd stuck in there with the likes of "Wedding Crashers" and "Mr. & Mrs. Smith." Isn't it funny that the same role earned him both a BAFTA and a Golden Popcorn Bucket?
He pauses, smiles naughtily and says “It’s worth it now” and nods sincerely, as if he’s remembering just how good Heath tasted.
That's the best thing I've read all week. Maybe all month. Best recap EVER!
Thank god for Channel 5! First all the CSI and House and Prison Break, then now Jake!
I choked on my lunch with Anneka's brilliant commentary! I gotta print that out and read it again when I finally watch the damn show... Thanks, Anneka.
Wow !!
You just made my day Anneka.
And then, in true frat boy - sorry, I meant twat boy – style, Trousersnake slaps Jake’s ass and starts clapping his own genius. Jake gives him uber-evils and mentally puts him on his list, next to Sarsgaard for the Mr Mistoffelees incident.
In my mind I'm watching Jake as Jack Twist, taking his rope from his horse's saddle and purposely crafting a hangmans noose in preparation for Trousersnakes last wiggling performance .... ever.
Really well done Anneka! That's hilarious! good luck w/ the competition. But, dude. you should be a comedy writer!
sorry, that above was from me (j) - forgot to sign, sorry!
LMAO!! I laughed so much I cried! A lot!! That's the most I've laughed in ages, well, since I saw that BBM parody with the bunnies anyway... But that was a while ago... :) Absolutely brilliant!
next to Sarsgaard for the Mr Mistoffelees incident.
confused-- what is this about?
^Sorry, was going to link that. It's from about a week ago where I did a picture montage of angry Jake walking with Maggie. Go back a few pages and you should find it.
Terrific. You should get a job with televisionwithoutpity.com High-larious stuff. *happy sigh*
Hi-fucking-larious, anneka! You ROCK!
Oh! On the Mistofolees incident, I hope the boys kissed and made up! Peter should have gotten him a new tamagachi by now.
This is hilarious! Good work Miss Anneka, please report back next time there's a Jake-at-an-awards-ceremony incident!
Is Justin Timbertwat's next album REALLY going to be called 'Future Sex Love Sound' or whatever it was? Is this true? That made me laugh so hard that I think my stomach has whiplash.
That's brilliant! Anneka is fucking hilarious, just as you are Britpop.
Trousersnake - LMAO!!
The tacky "ranch hand-job" joke was just too much, otherwise the show was ok.
What a hoot!!! Anneka, I think you need to contact MTV and offer to write the script for next year's awards. ;)
LMFAO!! Trousersnake - Priceless
"He pauses, smiles naughtily and says “It’s worth it now” and nods sincerely, as if he’s remembering just how good Heath tasted."
That's the best thing I've read all week. Maybe all month. Best recap EVER!
@prophecy girl: I SO agree!! OMG, the idea of Jake reminiscing like that...the kiss and the taste of Heath... HOT, HOT, HOT!
Miss Twist, are you a Becky?! I'm totally a Becky. Anyone who makes it over to my MySpace page can figure it out without much trouble, so I figured I was safe revealing that here.
HOT, HOT, HOT!
OMG, I KNOW! I want it to be true with all of my heart!
OMG, I KNOW! I want it to be true with all of my heart!
Me too, ME TOO!! The thought of those two handsome boys together...YU.MMY.
*mind wandering*
Okay. I need some ice cold water over here!
LOL Anneka, can you come and watch the MTV awards with me and I can have a running commentary!
Great job Anneka! So funny. Absolutely hilarious.....the kiss and the taste of Heath...That just makes me think that the next time Jake does a love scene with a woman it better be out of this world because I can't think of anything being more exciting and HOT than him and Heath together!!!!
That was fab, so funny! Can't wait to watch the awards now and totally get everything mentioned! Especially love the Sarsgaard and Heath Ledger comment with regards to Trousersnake meeting them in a dark alley! That came out crap but you get the idea of what I mean!! I hope!
It's clear to see why Anneka and Britpopbaby are mates...same sense of humour!
britpop, this is OT, but your blog doesn't come up at all when you do a jake gyllenhaal search at blogsearch.google.com. i'm not that internet savvy myself, but anyone know how to do google meta-tags? this blog deserves more visibility.
This was ace. Can we have a regular "Challenge Anneka" feature where Anneka is challenged to recap a Jake-related broadcast in 200 words?
And am I revealing my age with the "Challenge Anneka" monikor?
"This is Becky, if she talks to you about Jake Gyllenhaal just ignore her".
Oh my God. Are we the same person?! Ha! That cracked me up...and hit very close to home. :) I think it all boils down to Becky's just having outstanding taste. Damn, I wish you could remember that song. We could start a novelty recording offshoot of Jake Watch and donate the proceeds to getting us all in on something as exciting as the Baftas. In case I haven't said before, I am beyond jealous that you were there!! :)
britpop, this is OT, but your blog doesn't come up at all when you do a jake gyllenhaal search at blogsearch.google.com. i'm not that internet savvy myself, but anyone know how to do google meta-tags? this blog deserves more visibility.
I know, it's annoying. It comes up on page 7 if you just do I normal google search so I have no idea why it won't show up in the blog one. :(
And I'll ask Anneka if should would like a feature - I tried to make her do something before but should wouldn't. She is SO weird sometimes. I also think she might not be talking to me because I took awhile to reply to her last email. Either that or she's dead.
*Wiping away tear* Awww, you guys! Thanks for the lovin'. Was feeling bit down as I chipped away at my CV for another minimum wage job I won't get asked to interview for but now my head is so large, employers can see me from great distances. And still don't ask me to interview.
Loving Seaweed's well-deserved hanging of the Trousersnake. And J, I recall 'Challenge Anneka' more than most - the name-calling still keeps me awake at night.
Yes Britpop, I am talking to you - kudos to you. And I am not dead. So kudos to me too.
