Vin Diesel tugged at our heartstrings
There's something about Vin Diesel that just gets to us. The Furious 7 heartthrob paid homage to his late co-star, Paul Walker, during the ceremony. Vin took the stage as a presenter and shared a poignant memory, "The last time I stood on this stage, my little brother Pablo was with me." He followed up with an impromptu rendition of Wiz Khalifa's emotional track, "See You Again".
The Avengers genuflected in reverence for Robert Downy Jr
One of the most heartwarming moments came when Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, and Chris Evans gave Robert Downey Jr a thunderous ovation as they presented him with the MTV Generation Award. The suave actor seemed positively smitten with the spectacle.
The Magic Mike XXL guys showcased their dancing skills
The sight of Matt Bomer, Adam Rodriguez, Channing Tatum, and Joe Manganiello strutting their stuff on stage was a real treat! They were there to honor Jennifer Lopez with the Best Scared As S*** Performance award for The Boy Next Door. JLo made them work for it, though, having them put on a little dance number first.
A plethora of trailers graced our screens
We got a sneak peek at upcoming films like Paper Towns, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Pitch Perfect 2, and the TV series Scream.
Amy Schumer kept it raunchy
As the sarcastic, witty host of the night, Amy Schumer did not disappoint the A-list crowd. Her stand-up routine included cheeky jokes like, "I have two superpowers: one, I have no gag reflex, and two, I can fly." She also teamed up with Amber Rose and Nikki Glaser for a risqué sketch about 50 Shades of Grey and self-pleasure.
