Spoiler alert: the 2014 MTV Movie Awards weren't great. There was a lack of spontaneity, especially for what used to be the edgiest network on television. There were more than a few teleprompter issues, too—that or people who literally get paid to say things on camera can't say things on camera.

The Hunger Games won big, with "Best Movie" and "Best Male Performance" and "Best Female Performance" for Josh Hutcherson and an absentee Jennifer Lawrence. You can read our liveblog of the show here, but we also have a few ideas for the awards that should have been given out last night.

The Award for Deserving to Win All the Awards: Grumpy Cat

Grumpy Cat sat in the front at the awards show and even had a better seat than Nick Lachey. Which, to be, fair, a lot of people probably did. Then he fell asleep halfway through. SAME, Grumpy Cat. Same.

Most, "Yo, You Forgot to Thank Your Ridiculously Hot Wife" Moment: Channing Tatum Accepting the Trailblazer Award

Channing Tatum accepted the "Trailblazer Award" from his friend Jonah Hill—who joked that being a super good looking movie star isn't exactly trailblazing. But Tatum was charming and humble and funny, except for one thing: he forgot to thank Jenna Dewan. Explanation? He's really in love with Jonah. We knew it!

Most Attention-Seeking Acceptance Speech: Will Poulter Getting a Text From Jennifer Aniston

We're sure Will Poulter is super nice, but we just don't get how he won not one but two awards last night. He accepted the award for "Best Kiss" alone, without costars Jennifer Aniston and Emma Roberts. He was trying so hard to be funny and charming—while it wasn't a total fail, Zac Efron's smirks in the background says it all.
