As well as being one of the most entertaining nights in film, the 2012 MTV Movie Awards are the only show in the stratosphere where you can take home a trophy for locking lips with the best Hollywood has to offer. While this year's nominees for Best Kiss offer up the toughest competition for three-time winners Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, we take a look at our favorite past winners, from Spider-Man to American Pie.
2003 Winner: Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst, Spider-Man
Everyone says that the best kisses turn your world upside down, so it’s only fitting that the first smooch in a career-turning flick for Tobey Maguire and American sweetheart Kirsten Dunst was done in rain and vertigo.
2002 Winner: Jason Biggs and Seann William Scott, American Pie 2

Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Premium Rush gets an Awesome New Trailer & 10 New Images
1 June 2012 1:30 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Put Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the lead of anything and I’m sold, right off the bat. Put him alongside Michael Shannon, and I’ve got more than I could want. Add to that last year’s brilliant first trailer, and you’ve got one of the coolest-looking films of 2012.
An awesome second trailer has debuted over at Yahoo Movies, along with ten new hi-res images from the film, which sees Gordon-Levitt take the lead alongside the excellent Shannon, Dania Ramirez, Jamie Chung, and Aasif Mandvi.
“Dodging speeding cars, crazed cabbies, open doors, and eight million cranky pedestrians is all in a day’s work for Wilee, the best of New York’s agile and aggressive bicycle messengers. It takes a special breed to ride the fixie — super lightweight, single-gear bikes with no brakes and riders who are equal part skilled cyclists and suicidal nutcases who risk becoming a smear on »

All Hail Ditko!

Press Release:
San Diego, CA (May 31, 2012) – Celebrated, mercurial, enigmatic, and influential are a few words that have been used to describe legendary comics creator Steve Ditko. Co-creating Spider-Man and Doctor Strange with Stan Lee are only a couple of achievements earned by Ditko in his storied career.
Since his Marvel and DC days, Ditko has produced a litany of fiercely independent, wildly creative works; many of which are collected here in this large-format, oversized, full-color hardback for the first time! The Creativity Of Steve Ditko, designed by the Eisner Award-winning Craig Yoe features essays by Paul Levitz, Mike Gold, Jack Harris, Mikal Banta, and Amber Stanton.

Though we’ve been flooded with an insane amount of The Dark Knight Rises content as of late, we’ve actually got another high profile superhero pic headed our way before Christopher Nolan’s Batman takes his bow.

Marvel’s Next Avengers Film #9: Deathlok
29 May 2012 11:59 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
With a sequel to The Avengers officially confirmed by Marvel/Disney, comic book fans the world over will be contemplating which of the publisher’s other heroes could be added to the line-up, potentially getting their own solo movie as soon as 2014 – filling the popularly acknowledged gap in the schedule alongside Captain America 2 that summer.
Of course, we have to bear in mind that Marvel Studios do not own the film rights to characters as key to their comic book universe as Daredevil, Spider-Man, Wolverine or the Fantastic Four – all of whom have allied with or become members of the Avengers at one time or another – but with that consideration in place, here is another suggestion for Marvel’s Next Avengers Film:
Deathlok (Michael Collins)
Why?: Because, done right, a Deathlok adventure could combine all the best elements of the most successful superhero films – cutting-edge technology, evil, morally bankrupt bad guys, »

Elizabeth Banks Enjoys Out-earning Husband
29 May 2012 6:36 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actress Elizabeth Banks has no qualms about out-earning her producer husband Max Handelman, insisting men no longer need to be breadwinners in today's society.
The Hunger Games star wed college sweetheart Handelman in 2003 and, since the beginning of their marriage, Banks has pulled in millions of dollars in earnings thanks to roles in Spider-Man, Seabiscuit, The 40-Year-Old Virgin and The Next Three Days, while producer Handelman has earned significantly less.
Banks loves the fact she's the main provider and she feels good about paving the way for other women to aspire to do the same.
She tells Allure magazine, "We're the first generation to do it and it's very ingrained, even in our DNA, that men are hunter gatherers who are meant to go off and provide, and that we (women) are really meant to stay at home and have kids, which we have to do because they don't know how to do it!
"But they're learning. We're all figuring the same thing out. And let's be honest, men love a second income. It gets them their boat and their vacations. They want their wives to work." »
Tom Hiddleston talks Loki, Thor, Avengers, Shakespeare, and more
29 May 2012 3:15 PM, PDT | Shadowlocked | See recent Shadowlocked news »
Update: The interview has now been updated as follows: "Editor's Note: There have been some questions about one of the quotes in this interview. We have checked the interview tape and the quotes are accurate, but Mr. Hiddleston is joking about his performance in Thor."
In a recent interview, the actor Tom Hiddleston, who plays Loki in Thor and The Avengers, as well as being some other films that don’t involve superheroes, underplays his celebrated performance, saying:
“And I also felt like I’d been rubbish in Thor [laughs] – there was no way I was going to come back.”
If he’s not exaggerating, this is quite remarkable. As most fans will be well aware, Tom Hiddleston’s performance as Loki in Thor is a brilliant, breakthrough role, with plenty of nuance and charisma.
But a lot of very talented people often have self-doubt. For instance, J.R.R. Tolkien didn’t »

If this latest behind-the-scenes still from Fede Alvarez is any indication of things to come, the demons of his Evil Dead remake won't be spewing that weird milky white stuff they did in the Raimi version. Dig it!
Ghost House Pictures is producing the much anticipated remake of Sam Raimi's 1981 cult-hit horror film The Evil Dead the film that effectively launched the careers of Sam Raimi (Spider-Man franchise, Darkman, Drag Me to Hell), Rob Tapert (30 Days of Night) and Bruce Campbell, who played the Ash character and was co-producer of the original. They are now back to produce an Evil Dead for today's audience that's high on the horror, gore, plot twists, and more from a screenplay written by Fede Alvarez and Rodo Sayagues with Diablo Cody. Executive producers are J.R. Young, Nathan Kahane, Joseph Drake, and Peter Schlessel.
