Jason Sudeikis, Host of the 2011 MTV Movie Awards

This year’s MTV Movie Awards began with an introduction to die for.  The Hangover II took over the screen with a new approach and character: Jason Sudeikis, this year’s host for the MTV Movie Awards.  Introduced to the world in 1992 with the intentions to shine light on those who have performed extraordinary well in film, the Movie Awards, like its sister event, MTV Video Music Awards, give the fans the opportunity to voice their opinion by voting for whoever they feel deserves the award.

The Tony Awards is usually Broadway’s biggest night. But it seems Hollywood invaded this year’s awards show.

Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day performing at the 64th Annual Tony Awards.

The 64th annual Tony Awards aired Sunday, June 13, and like always, I was really looking forward to this year’s telecast. I’m a huge fan of Broadway musicals, so Tony night is always a very important night for me.

The show opened with host Sean Hayes playing the piano as cast members from this season’s shows performed short musical excerpts from their productions. It didn’t bother me that Hayes, an actor better-known for his work in television and movies than his current role as Chuck Baxter in the Broadway revival of Promises, Promises, was hosting the awards show. I was even OK with seeing Green Day perform in the more…
