dude wtf Hitman </3

Ghost Recon pwns.. even its music!

I go for Red Hot Chili Peppers in Best Rock Video

Not a lot of good artists this time around.

i want The All-American Rejects to win Best Editing, cuz i don't think they will win best group unless the crazed fan girlies start voting their fingers off.

even though move along gives me a headache after awhile, the editing is REALLY good.

MTV? People actually still watch it? It hardly ever has music and has crappy reality shows. They also nominate horriable bands too.

Hooray for Gnarls Barkley and 30 Seconds to Mars!

30 seconds to mars are really good.

I adore their recent album, A Beautiful Lie. I love every track on there. Ok, but that is off topic.

James Blunt, Gnarls Barkely, and Rihanna ftw. Oh, and Beck. Everyone else sucks.



That is a good video...and the song's actually grown on me. Surprisingly enough.

agreed

MTV is Mind control television

Damn straight.
