Oh, Ok.
I have more respect for Empire than that circus the Oscars. Well done TFA.
But both are outshined by the prestigious MTV Movie Awards.
*laughs hysterically*
I’m sorry, I couldn’t keep a straight face.
One musn’t forget the Kids Choice Awards either. Nickelodeon practically MEANS movies, so you know it has to be good.
I am the MTV generation
I don’t care about the opinions of a company if those opinions are about something they advertised.
Force Awakens was the shit tho.
You damn kids today – I don’t know if that means it was good or bad.
Yay – they win 3D magazine logos!
I dont know what happened but Daisy’s hair looks like it is fried in the first pic of her accepting her award but other than that she is gorgeous as always and I’m happy for her and Boyega winning these awards . They were easily the best parts of this movie
Don’t pull duck faces Daisey, you look like my meth dealer.
How do you know what a meth dealer looks like?
He posts a lot on Facebook.
Filming in Cork, Jameson… it seems they are big celebrating Saint Patrick in SW…
