The 2010 MTV Movie Awards air June 6th @ 9 p.m. live on MTV.

While the saying always goes that the Golden Globes set the tone for the Oscars, this years nominations prove that while true the Academy still has a mind of it’s own.

What stands out for me is the District 9 nominations. The alien drama which was not a favorite among the Hollywood Foreign Press is up for among others Best Motion Picture and Adapted Screenplay. Personally I hated the movie. It started off ok but lost it’s luster mid way through.  Buzz was that after its Golden Globe win The Hangover would be among Best Picture contenders. I guess the Academy is still not ready Vegas ruckus…yet.

Album of the Year went to Taylor Swift who walked away with a total of four awards out of her eight nominations. Full winners list after the jump.The other big nominees Lady Gaga and Black Eyes Peas won two awards each. While I respect Taylor Swift and that she writes her own songs, Album of the Year? Where’s Kanye when you need him. Yes she has mass appeal to the country lovin, teeny boppers but I think Lady Gaga deserved it.

The highlights of the show was the performances. Lady Gaga opened the show in the only way she knows how giving an electrifying performance with the legendary Elton John. Beyonce  came out blazin singing her single If I Were A Boy with a mix of Alanis Morissette’s You Outta Know. Pink recycled her high flying VMA performance but it’s always impressive to sing and spin hundreds of feet in the air at the same time.  The MJ tribute was good but headache inducing for those without 3d glasses and his children accepted the award on behalf of their father promising to continue to spread MJ’s message of love. BEP gave us an futuristic vibe while The Zac Brown Band opened their set with a great redition of America. The most disappointing performance of the night besides that Lil Wayne/Eminem/ Drake bleep fest, was AOY winner Taylor Swift. Even though she performed with Steve Nicks, her voice was as flat throughout. The Lil Wanye/Eminem/Drake performance was s The cutest moment of the night goes to Beyonce’s nephew when he was brought on stage with his uncle Jay-z to accept Best Sung/Rap collab.
