MTV Awards: 'Cool Guys Don't Look at Explosions'

This digital short was a highlight of the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday and will hopefully halt that most improbable of action-movie cliches: the badass hero walking away from an explosion in slow-motion.

The music video stars MTV Movie Awards host Andy Samberg, Will Ferrell and, best of all, J.J. Abrams (for string-tie keyboard solo!).

Here's the clip:



Digg It!

Here's more on the awards from the AP:

LOS ANGELES—Eminem apparently has flown the coop from the MTV Movie Awards after a close encounter with Sacha Baron Cohen. In character as flamboyant fashion reporter "Bruno," Baron Cohen flew in above Sunday's award show audience on a wire — and in a pair of feathery white wings and his rear end mostly exposed (clip below). But the comedian crashed into an overhead obstacle, and he was lowered into the audience — right into Eminem's lap, his bare hindquarters in the rapper's face. Eminem seemed visibly upset at the mishap. Or was it a joke he was in on? The rapper stormed out with his entourage in tow — and cameras rolling. In 2002, Sparks flew when the rapper was interviewed by Triumph the Insult Comic Dog at the MTV Video Music Awards.
