MTV Video Awards disappoint-okay they sucked

You know it pathetic when the Emmy Awards are more entertaining than the MTV Video Awards. What a disappointment. I was expecting great things from Jack Black. Hilarious things. Goofy oddball things. I got nothing. The first half hour of the show looked and felt like a high school improvisational class. Jokes were flat. Lighting and music cues were late. It had the production values of the BET Awards. Scrap that, the BET Awards were better produced this year.

Just because the awards were an enormous let down doesn’t mean there weren’t highlights.

Best Channeling of Angie Dickinson
Jennifer Lopez was a hot mess in her 1974 Dressed to Kill meets Space Odyssey get up. Between the metallic dress, matching headscarf and patent leather knee boots, it was unclear what she was thinking. It was matronly and homely. Two words that have never been used to describe JLo.

Unfunniest Moments of the Night
The usually funny Sarah Silverman was uninspired in her rants about Lance Bass and Paris Hilton. I expected more.

Best Appearance by a Corpse
Lou Reed looked a little freaky. It looked like his truss was too tight. Thankfully, he sounded great and hopefully won another generation of fans.

Best Accessory
Boots. They were in every height, color and size. But seriously, isn’t it still summer in NYC?

Best White Trash Moment
Britney and KFed were in hillbilly bliss playing up their ignorance, vanity and questionable parent skills all in one shot. Who needs the tabloids when you can destroy your own image?

Most Deserved Win
Hype Williams was truly deserving of his Video Vanguard Award win. His imagination and innovation helped turn music videos into short art films. Check out the images in the Ex-Girlfriend video by No Doubt. Vivid. Colorful. Perfection.

Worst Dressed Pretty Girl
Believe me there were a lot of them but Vanessa Minnillo took the top prize. Her tight-fitting spangled dress looked like a design by Pageant Queen Kayne of Project Runway fame.

Best Performance
No dancers. No special effects. Real talent. Huge voice. Christina Aguilera stole the show hands down.

The Druck Award
It’s sad when you have to ask this question but some of the MTV presenters hit the bar early. There were several winners in this category. Lil’ Kim, All America Rejects and Jessica Simpson must have been sipping from the same flask.

Worst Plug
Leave it to Diddy to shamelessly plug his artists. Danity Kane hardly deserved the two mentions they received during the ceremony. I watched the show but who are they really?

What was your favorite moment?
