MTV awards crazy as usual
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice" video emerged as the leading winner at yesterday's MTV Video Music Awards, winning five of the nine awards for which it was nominated.
The "Weapon of Choice" clip by Fatboy Slim, a DJ, doesn't even feature the artist; its star is actor Christopher Walken, dancing around an empty hotel lobby. Among the early awards it nabbed was for best direction for Spike Jonze, and best choreography.
But as always, the awards themselves tend to be an afterthought, upstaged by the evening's over-the-top moments. Yesterday was no exception, as 'N Sync capped off a colorful rendition of "Pop" with the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson. Jackson gyrated for only a few seconds to 'N Sync's hit but received a standing ovation from the crowd.
Mudvayne won the MTV2 award spotlight for emerging artists, but it was hard to concentrate on the group's acceptance speech: They appeared in gory makeup that made them look as if they had been shot in the forehead, with fake blood oozing down their faces and chests.
Comedian-host Jamie Foxx got the evening off to a somewhat raunchy start. After parodying the evening's setting at the Metropolitan Opera House with opera renditions of hits like "Bootylicious," he
launched into a monologue that had to be bleeped by MTV censors.
Foxx had previously said he would not lampoon celebrities during the show but apparently had a change of heart, joking about Mariah Carey's recent nervous breakdown and Backstreet Boy A.J. McLean's battle with alcohol abuse.
The Backstreet Boys gave out the evening's first award, for best hip-hop video. Before OutKast picked up its trophy, McLean thanked MTV and fans for supporting him during his recent stint in rehab.
"Today is 64 days sober, and I'm proud of it," he said to applause.
As the group walked off stage, Foxx held out a bottle to them. "You want some champagne, some champagne?," he joked before the stunned crowd. "It's apple cider, apple cider! You can drink apple cider, can't you?"
Moments later, however, the mood turned somber with a tribute to Aaliyah, who was killed Aug. 25 in a plane crash. Janet Jackson, Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott, Ginuwine and Timbaland joined Aaliyah's brother, Rashad Haughton, in remembering the 22-year-old singer and actress, who was to be a presenter last night.
"I think what we've got to learn out of this to appreciate each other while we're here on earth." Elliott said. "I love you, Aaliyah, and you're forever missed."
