2002 MTV MOVIE AWARDS! 
TV Hits Magazine August 2002 Issue #168

Shallow Hal's Jack Black kicked off the show with co-host Sarah Michelle Gellar with an opening musical performance titled Movies Kick Ass. The star-studded awards show also included performances by Eminem, The White Stripes and Kelly Osbourne.

American Pie 2's Jason Biggs and Seann William Scott took the award for Best Kiss, with Seann joking that it took many takes to perfect the prize-winning pucker!

"We were already on number three and I told Jason, 'Dude, I've done this before. I don't need to practise.' But this guy's crazy about rehearsal, he's a perfectionist. He said, 'Hey Seann, I'm a little nervous about this. Just come to my trailer and we'll practise.' And then what happened is, even after the show, he was still coming up to me asking, 'Do you think I'm sexy?' And inviting me over. He actually wrote a letter a couple of days ago, just wondering if I still felt the same way about him!"
