10 things you need to know about the 2011 MTV Movie Awards

Twihards will rejoice

As if you needed another reason to tune in to the 2011 MTV Movie Awards on Sunday, June 5 at 9 p.m. EST (6 p.m. on the left coast): Twihards will be treated to an exclusive clip from “Breaking Dawn.” Not only that, but RPattz, KStew and um, TLaut will be on hand to present it. And just to make sure you watch the red carpet pre-show (it starts at 7:30 p.m. EST along with the finale of "America's Best Dance Crew"), MTV is planning another special first look for that as well. We’re guessing wedding stuff.

Big stars will plug their movies. And present stuff.

Look for a cavalcade of stars on hand to present awards and plug their own movies: Blake Lively (seen here) and Ryan Reynolds (“Green Lantern”); Danny McBride, Jesse Eisenberg and Aziz Ansari (“30 Minutes or Less”); Steve Carell (“Crazy Stupid Love”); Jason Segal and Cameron Diaz (“Bad Teacher”) and Shia LaBeouf, Josh Duhamel and Rosie Huntington-Whitley (“Transformers: Dark of the Moon”).

A sneak peek at "Super 8"

Forget “Breaking Dawn." Even though we're also excited to see a new clip from "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows pt. 2," the exclusive movie clip we’re really excited about is the one for “Super 8” (stars Kyle Chandler, Joel Courtney, Elle Fanning and Ron Eldard seen here). Plus, J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg are expected to be on hand for the big reveal.

The Best Kiss category holds some promise

Sure, you can focus on whether Kristen Stewart’s kiss with Robert Pattinson will trump her lipsmacking with Taylor Lautner (they’re both nominated for Best Kiss), but we see a dark horse (or swan) in the running: the hot scene between Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman.

Reese Witherspoon will be honored and probably offended

Reese Witherspoon will receive a generation award. Bet she’s feeling old right about now.

It's not the focus, but the music will rock anyway

Hey, it’s MTV. The show won’t hurt for great music. Watch for the Foo Fighters (seen here) to debut their new single "Walk," plus watch for Lupe Fiasco to perform as well as join Trey Songz for "Out of My Head." 

Your favorite movies will be skewered

The MTV Movie Awards is known for its spoofs, and this year’s show promise. There will be five Meme Mash-Ups, in which hit movies meet notorious viral video clips. Look for “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” told via Talking Twin Babies, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1” as interpreted by Charlie Sheen, “Black Swan” by way of the Friday video, “Inception” mashed with hide ya kids and hide ya wife and “The Social Network” by way of David the Dentist. This could be brilliant or painful. Watch and see!

HITFIX for all of them
