Since The Academy Awards are the most prestigious for the film industry, it’s probably safe to say that the MTV Movie & TV awards are the most laid back by comparison. I didn’t see much that the Oscars were awarded but when I gleaned this list of nominees and winners I realized it was more of the “regular joe” viewing and I was totally fine with that. Continuing on with my presenting the winners of assorted awards shows, here is the complete list of those who won “The Popcorn Statue” that is given out by these presenters. The show was held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles and hosted by Adam DeVine. Let’s look.

Piercing Ken Thoughts: So there you have it. Quite an assortment of different options from the more traditional awards show for sure. Having never seen “Hidden Figures” I am assuming that it’s good since it beat out some really on point superhero programs for a few awards. Glad to see Negan winning as best villain since he’s a right sumbitch when all is said and done. Let me know what you thought of this one as I’d love to hear from you. Now that we’ve been doing these sorts of posts, I think I will stick to the program and keep them coming. Some are more interesting to me than others and that is what makes the entertainment world all the more interesting. Perhaps I need to put these types of reports in their own category sometime in the future. Decisions, decisions…..see you next time.
