MTV went on with its annual movie awards at the Universal

the 17th annual MTV Movie Awards was Mike Myers.
“Transformers” is the winner of best movie at the 2008 MTV Movie

Ferrell and Robert Downey Jr. attended the event.
Will Smith earned best male performer for “I Am Legend” and
Ellen Page from “Juno” won the counterpart trophy for actresses.

A new category this year was “best summer movie so far” and the
