Did anyone else catch the 2010 Scream Awards on Spike or for that matter do you have any idea what the hell I am talking about? Apparently the Spike channel for the last couple of years has an awards show celebrating all that is horror, sci fi and fantasy filmed at the Greek theater in Hollywood. After reading about it last year on the true blood wiki I decided to tune in this year to see what all the hoopla was about. Basically the awards are a mini horror convention with fans dressed in costumes, an elaborately decorated stage, filmed in that MTV glossy style and packed full of celebrities; which makes me wonder how does one score a ticket for this event? Here's my crib notes version of the show:
Inception swept the film portion of the awards including accolades for best sci fi film, Tom Hardy for breakthrough performance and Joseph Gordon Levitt as best supporting actor.
On the other end True Blood swept the television portion including the Holy shit scene of the year for Stephen Moyer (the neck twist), best horror actor/actress went to Paquin and Skarsgard and of course the show won for best tv show. BTW Stephen Moyer was looking HOT, how is that guy such a chameleon in his appearance with being bleh one moment and then sexy as hell in the same year? In this instance it was definitely hearing him speak in his native tongue that made him more appealing, plus his hair was looking perfectly zooshed. Askar looked as perfect as ever although I was really disturbed that (like Allan Hyde) he has practically lost his accent and what is the f*cking deal with Anna Paquin? I'm kinda over her in general, not only on the show but also in the real world as it seems that fame has gone to her head. For instance she needed some freak dressed like Elvis Costello to help her up to the stage (WTF) and is she pulling a fake madonna british accent as I seem to recall her being from Canada where they don't sound like Jane Austen! The oddest part about the True Blood moments though was Marilyn Manson (looking bloated, old and no longer relevant) presenting the award for best TV show where he flanked Alan Ball in some sort of strange Nosferatu pose while Ball was speaking and then was doing his best to hit on "Pam" while the cast was on stage!
The Scream 4 preview debuted which clearly will feature every current starlet in Hollywood. Neve Campbell is looking old and quite un-fabulous while Courtney Cox who is looking fabulous at 40 is likely going to bite the dust in this one ... farewell Gail :(
Sigourney Weaver won an award, talk about a comeback.
David Spade showed up (how is this douchebag ever been relevant?) in a delorean to present Christopher Lloyd (who looked like he was just pulled out of a nursing home) and M J Fox with lifetime achievement awards although likely it was a shameless plug for the 25th anniversary of Back to the Future coming out on Blu Ray; am I really that old to clearly remember seeing this trilogy in the theater?
Not so shockingly the best worst movie of the year award went to Piranha 3D.
Fu*king avatar won for best 3d film of the year ... I loathe James Cameron.
LOST was rehashed again with an award and mini reunion featuring Hurley and several of the show's minor characters ... WHY?
Zombieland won best horror movie and Bill Murray showed up to accept the award dressed in his ghostbusters get-up.
Twilight won for best fantasy movie .... YAWN.
Lastly I call bullshit on the most anticipated movie award which went to the Green Lantern, yet again this felt like another shameless plug and Ryan Reynolds looks like he has shed all his muscle, I hope that was for an upcoming role.

Anna Paquin had help getting up on the stage because she had on ridiculously high heels on and since the Awards were being held in an outdoor theatre and it had rained it was a bit slippery.
Anna may have been born in Canada but she was raised in New Zealand. What you heard was a bit of her natural accent which she never uses in public in the States. Rather the equivalent of Alex Skarsgard not speaking in Swedish when in the states either.
Thanks Cindy for the heads up on her accent as it really has been bugging me since I saw her appearance on the Graham Norton show earlier this year and figured that she was trying to pull a "madonna" with it. I still find her escort to the stage strange as he was so specifically dressed for attention. Sadly I wish A S would start speaking with more of his native inflection as it makes him even sexier :)
