When a film by a director so notoriously sexless as Christopher Nolan ends up in the running for Best Kiss, you know something has gone awry. Inception: Elliot Page & Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Nominated, 2011 Later on, they kiss for real, and I guess this step-sibling action caught the eye of someone at Viacom who wanted to normalize such behavior. This, as you might expect, leads to a lot of awkwardness, particularly after Marcia performs mouth-to-mouth on Greg after he almost drowns in a surfing accident. Suddenly, our glut of incest porn makes total sense: In A Very Brady sequel, Greg and Marcia, the eldest brother and sister of the sitcom family, realize they aren’t related by blood and immediately get horny for each other.

Do not put your mouth on him!! A Very Brady Sequel: Christine Taylor & Christopher Daniel Barnes, Nominated, 1997 (We are not including the kiss between an alien and human in the sci-fi horror flick Species, which won in 1996, as the extraterrestrial was played by Natasha Henstridge.) Sure, it’s just a boy giving an orca a smooch on the snout, but in the years after, we would all come to appreciate the cruelty of keeping such an animal captive - and the bitter irony of forcing him to perform in a feel-good children’s movie about his escape from the human world. Has to be included simply for being the one interspecies kiss in the record. I’m referring to a few nominees (and some winners) that should have made us wonder about the producers and executives choosing them.įree Willy: Jason James Richter & Keiko the Whale, Nominated, 1994 I’m not talking about Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore in The Wedding Singer beating out Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic - that was the right call. Like anything else, the MTV Movie Awards haven’t always aged gracefully, and one perennial award, Best Kiss, has seen its share of puzzlers. The “golden popcorn” trophies are a visual clue to the mainstream blockbuster vibes of the event - as are the fun categories: Best Villain and Best Fight are among the longest-running, and viewers (who get to vote for winners online) have also crowned the Best Shirtless Performance and Best WTF Moment in certain years.īut, as the choice of Dennis Miller to host the first show will attest, times change. Since 1992, MTV has put on a movie (and now TV) award show that aims to take the stuffiness out of prestige ceremonies such as the Oscars.
