Transformers Wins Best Corporate Plug at MTV Movie Awards

Some might have suggested this fire at Universal Studios, which broke out early Sunday morning and burned for 12 hours, was God's way of saying organizers should call off the 2008 MTV Movie Awards. The fire destroyed a Back to the Future set and a video archive, but it did not preempt the awards show, which was broadcast live last night.

Unsurprisingly, Transformers took home the award for Best Movie. Not because Shia LaBoeuf is some new voice for the teen generation, but because the movie's studio, Paramount, has been in bed with MTV parent Viacom since the movie got off the ground.

The 2007 Video Music Awards, after all, were "a long boring commercial for the movie Transformers." [MTV]

Whatever. Seth Rogan and James Franco pretending to smoke pot (and likely actually doing so) was funny.
