That was SO FAKE. About 20 years ago, managers and PR people started taking advantage of “TIMING”. Something sensational happens around someones new movie, new album, new whatever. It thrusts them in the limelight in a non-salesy way. But its been done so many times, it does not have the same effect. Funny but kind of a yawn.

I almost peed myself when that part happened… seriously the greatest thing about that show last night was Sasha Baron Cohen… oh and Jim Carrey but I will get to that… I’ve seen the clip over and over again and I still can’t figure out if Eminem was in on the joke or not. I have to lean on the side of Trent’s thinking that Eminem probably knew that Sasha was going to somehow prank him, but wasn’t told the full extent… let’s face it we’ve seen Eminem act and it’s not so good and he looked genuinely suprised and pissed off when Cohen’s ass was in his face… and I totally missed the whole award part of that until they called Zac Efron. Poor guy! I think he had the biggest punk there! One minute he’s like WTF is going on and the next they are calling his name! What a champ!

Oh and can I just say for the record that I LOVE that Jim Carrey is still THE MAN of the MTV Movie Awards. I remember the show back in it’s heyday and Carrey never failed to disappoint!

Corey – I think those bodyguards ARE his posse … he has no friends ……. When they were pushing Bruno, they didn’t care who got hit … that was real.

lololololmao!! OMG i will never get tired of watching this shit. (Staged or not). I think it was a prank gone horribly wrong. One of the best parts was Zach Efron getting on stage and saying “Wow, that was weird”. hahahalololol. Omg so funny.

Hahaha I wasn’t even going to watch the MTV Movie Awards until I read about this SBC/Eminem thing on a website last night … then I caught a later showing of the broadcast JUST so I could see this. I am still on the fence about whether Em was in on it or not … but the theory that he simply didn’t know what the full extent of the joke would be might make sense. In any event it was hysterical … including the shocked look on Zachary Quinto’s face while it was all going down. ;-)

p.s. I read on some other website that the stunt was rehearsed ahead of time (obviously it would have to be), but not with Eminem. Maybe they used a stand-in for rehearsal or something. That same website said that Eminem seemed to be mic’ed as he was leaving (which would obviously indicate that he was in on the joke) … but when I watched it … it didn’t seem like he was mic’ed. Who knows! Props to MTV for pulling off something that would garner so much buzz/speculation the next day though.

I think something was up, because why would anyone bring two massive bodyguards in to the theatre to sit DIRECTLY on either side of him. I can understand bringing your posse, but they looked poised to “help” with the situation. I will agree that he probably didnt know he was gonna get a face full of ballsack though…

i think eminem knew he was going to be lowered down on him but not in an ass less outfit hahaha too funny

I doubt Eminem is going to sue MTV since they’re such a big endorsement to music artists’. I mean, there’s the VMA’s coming up as well. I think he was in on the job but he didn’t know the full extent like some were saying.

My hubby says we’ll know for sure if it was staged or real based on whether or not Eminem sues Sasha Baron Cohen and MTV. ;)

Man.. that was reallllllly freakin GROTESQUE!!!! I almost wanted to puke for Eminem, when I saw the shots of that man-crotch in his face… And he was pretty much pinned there, with everyone seeing this nasty crotch all in his face…looking like he could almost smell that shiz… YUCK!!! That dude is lucky he didn’t get punched in the taint! Tooooo nasty!!

This is the funniest thing that could happen. I hope Eminem was in on it, but if not, oh well. Friggen hilarious.

Plus, Sacha is well know for making big fools of people in very real situations.

By: Kelly K.

Kelly K. — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 19:03:25 +0000

I agree that Em was in on it, but probably not expecting what actually happened. And his body guards were hitting and pushing Sacha around to the point where he was kicking women in the face that were sitting behind them. I think that might have been pretty real. If not, then they got me! Either way, I thought it was pretty damn funny.

I think he was in on it. He would have planty of time to move out of the way before Bruno landing on him, had it not been staged. When it aired live, MTV did not catch the “what the fuck” that Em said. That made me laugh more than anything!

Eminem was way too angry to have been on the joke. There was not even a hint of him taking it in stride! And no offense, I’m sure he’s a good actor or whatever, but that would have been QUITE the performance to pull off that level of surprise, frustration, and just overall repulsion. Trust me, the joke was on Eminem this time.

By the way, wouldn’t be difficult to pull off–celebrity seats in view of the camera are planned out for weeks. Futhermore, celebrities who receive special invitations to award shows *know* to sit the seat to which their escorted. It means they will get good face time. It was just a matter of working on the wiring to ensure that Sasha would be lowered directly onto that seat.

obviously they did it to eminem to get a reaction. i agree that em knew something was going to happen, but i’m sure he wasn’t expecting a dudes’ ass and balls in his face, and thats why he got mad. i really want to hear how eminem feels about the whole thing………..

Ridiculous. And I feel bad for Zac Efron – way to ruin a guy’s moment. Sometimes MTV is so juvenile it’s pathetic.

I agree, part of it was staged, but Eminem didn’t know exactly what was going to happen. I feel like if he did, the censor would have known what his reaction was going to be. That clip was much more censored than the east coast version. The bleeped the first f**k, but missed the motherf***er on the east coast, and it came through loud and clear. And I know the whole security part wasn’t silent either. I think his reaction was genuine. I loved it.

well, zac efron clearly looked stunned to see what happened when his name was called out in this manner. LOL to Bruno!
