Victoria Beckham, Cameron Diaz, Robin Williams, Jessica Biel and Bruce
Willis were among the celebrities poised to pass the popcorn at Sunday's
16th annual MTV Movie Awards, but Lindsay Lohan planned to pass the show.
The actress, scheduled to be a presenter of the ceremony's distinctive
"Golden Popcorn" trophy before she checked into rehab last week, was
skipping the telecast, her publicist confirmed Friday.
Lohan sought treatment after a wild Memorial Day weekend during which she
crashed her Mercedes-Benz into a curb, was arrested for investigation of
driving under the influence and was photographed slumped in the passenger
seat of a friend's car.
Two "Dreamgirls" stars, Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson and Grammy winner
Beyonce Knowles, were in the running for best performance at the Sunday
night awards, scheduled for live broadcast on MTV from the Gibson
Amphitheatre in Universal City. Sarah Silverman was set to host.
Also nominated in the best performance category were Will Smith for "The
Pursuit of Happyness," Keira Knightley for "Pirates of the Caribbean:
Dead Man's Chest" and Gerard Butler for "300."
Smith's 9-year-old son, Jaden Christopher Syre Smith, was nominated for
breakthrough performance for his role opposite his father in "The Pursuit
of Happyness." Other nominees in that category included Justin Timberlake
for "Alpha Dog" and "Little Miss Sunshine" star Abigail Breslin.
Films nominated for best movie were "300," "Pirates of the Caribbean:
Dead Man's Chest," "Blades of Glory," "The Devil Wears Prada," "Little
Miss Sunshine" and "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit
Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan."
The blood-soaked "300" garnered a leading five nominations, followed by
"Dead Man's Chest" with four.
Sacha Baron Cohen, aka Borat, was up for three awards, including best
comedic performance, best fight (with Ken Davitian) and best kiss (with
Will Ferrell in "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby").
The MTV Movie Awards were chosen by fans, who voted online and by text
message.
