MTV Movie Awards Launched April 23rd On Yahoo!

This comes from MTV and Yahoo! Movies:

New Interactive Experience Will Showcase User Generated Creations throughout the "2007 MTV Movie Awards," And Culminate With The All-New "Best Movie Spoof" User Generated Category Live On Stage.

"2007 MTV Movie Awards" Will Broadcast Live From Gibson Theatre in Universal City, CA on June 3.

March 12, 2007, New York, NY & Santa Monica, CA – MTV: Music Television and Yahoo! Movies today announced a partnership, working with Mark Burnett Productions, to enhance the "2007 MTV Movie Awards" experience like never before by giving fans the opportunity to participate in the show via a new website on Yahoo! Movies. This year, fans will be given the chance to realize their dreams of standing on stage at the "2007 MTV Movie Awards" to accept the legendary golden bucket of popcorn in front of Hollywood's movers and shakers. Through "MTV Movie Awards on Yahoo!," aspiring filmmakers will be offered the platform to showcase their twisted genius and story-telling talent. The interactive site, launching April 23, will allow them to submit their own original movie shorts parodying films from the past year for consideration in the first ever "BEST MOVIE SPOOF" User Generated Category. The undiscovered talent will be revealed to the world during MTV's live June 3 broadcast from the Gibson Theater in Universal City, Calif.

In addition to the movie spoof award, MTV, Yahoo! Movies and Mark Burnett Productions are developing a section on this new interactive site where viewers can create their own culture of sorts – whether it's commenting on the user-generated submissions or posting photos and videos. Select content from the site will also take center stage at the awards on a "World Wide Web Wall" that will be integrated into the live broadcast, giving a voice to all the those up-and-coming filmmakers or those who simply like to quarterback from the sidelines.
