Trending: The MTV Movie Awards is a most colourful cavalcade
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.If British TV has been dominated by flag-waving this week, across the pond, America's been busy crowning its own royalty at the MTV Movie Awards 2012. Fewer corgis, more Kardashians. But Sunday night's awards (screened last night on MTV UK) managed to have a few moments where the action was suitably red, white and blue hued.
Red stood for the carpet that stars such as Emma Watson and Kristen Stewart posed on, plus the fabulous frock Charlize Theron was sporting. White was represented by the knuckles of the clenched fists of those celebrities (Kanye, John Travolta, Charlie Sheen) in the firing line of host Russell Brand's gags.
Brand also supplied the blue, with dirty jokes about the size of Michael Fassbender's manhood and the, erm, furriness of Alec Baldwin's. Oh Russell. We are not amused.
