I was just going to say that. I'm really glad he got this award, although I think he should have gotten more awards for ROTS and AOTC. Both fantastic performances.

[lovelucas]

and he showed some love for George - he thanked him for letting him play "such a cool character"

That's cool to hear, but I would've actually voted for Ian McDiarmid for best villian.

[Baltar]

Seriously...did the Operative from Serenity even get a mention? At least as sci-fi is concerned, he's easily the best villian of the year.

[Blizzard]

Vader won Best Villain, who cares who the losers were.

Congrats To Hayden Christensen for winning BEST VILLIAN @ THE 2006 MTV movie awards for his outstanding preformance as THE DARK LORD OF THE SITH DARTH VADER in STAR WARS EPISODE III : REVENGE OF THE SITH .

[lovelucas]

and congrats to IAN!!! A Broadway Tony for Best Featured Player (best supporting actor type o' thing)
Take that, Hollywood - now you know his name.

[RollaFett]

^ That is cool. Although, I will most likely never see that particular performance.

[The White Tuxedo]

Darn straight! The Operative was cool, collected, and straight forward. I thought he was fantastic! No crying with him!:)

[Sam]

^ I agree about the Operative in "Serenity." And how about Liam Neeson's character in "Batman Begins"? It's Qui-Gon, if he had turned to the Dark Side.

[IrishLuck]

Yeah, I would like MTV try and explain to me how anyone else BUT Darth Vader could win Best Villian.

[Sam]

^ Which Darth Vader do you mean? The one in the OT, who probably deserved to win such an award for the years 1977 and 1980? (For 1983, it's a close call between him and the Emperor.) Or the twerp who we're supposed to believe is Darth Vader in the 2005 movie? In addition to the villains mentioned in the above posts, I would easily pick Palpatine/Sidious over him.

[jadeskywalker]

It's about time he won something. I thought he did wonderful as Vader. But that's just me.:cool:

[larissa]

The MTV awards are finally being shown in Australia tomorrow night.
Hayden desrved it not only his performance- but for having to put up with all the flack he's gotten since AOTC.

and is also winning great reviews for Factory Girl - premiering to qualify for Oscars this week (only in nyc and lax - will be wide released in February)

There’s about to be a lot of fighting over "Factory Girl," the most troubled movie of 2006.

But it’s getting a one-week Academy Awards-qualifying run, starting tomorrow in Los Angeles. If you’re out there, you shouldn’t miss it.

Sienna Miller and Guy Pearce give truly great performances, and the movie — at least the version that’s going to play now — works.

What about Andy Warhol? He was crass, commercial, mean and disloyal. Sorry, but that’s the truth. He was smart about real estate.

The Factory — where no manual or menial labor took place — was a loft building in Manhattan where Warhol produced his magazine, Interview; his art (Campbell's soup cans, silk-screen prints of celebrities); and his semi-pornographic, crudely made movies.

Into this world came Edie Sedgwick, who was beautiful, young and wealthy, thanks to her abusive "old money" father. She was one of the few who didn’t change her name and background story when she came to the Factory.

Everyone else around her did, though, and we meet them at the beginning of George Hickenlooper’s uneven but nevertheless compelling movie. After all, this is where Andy’s self-pronounced “superstars” like Ultraviolet, Viva and Paul Morrissey were born.

Pearce is astounding as Warhol. You know Pearce from "Memento" and "L.A. Confidential." In those films he plays the square-jawed hero. As Warhol, he really shows off his chameleon-like qualities.

He deserves an Oscar nomination for this work, bringing out Warhol’s petulance and stripping away the veneer of a kooky eccentric. He almost makes him seem like a cult leader rather than an artist, and that may be more accurate than any biographer has captured thus far. Warhol as Charles Manson is an idea whose time has come.

This brings me to Miller. She co-starred in the highly underrated Lasse Hallstrom comedy "Casanova," and you should rent it. It’s a topnotch film and she’s very good in it.

As Edie, Miller is part Judy Carne and part Liza Minnelli. She’s incredibly charming, and can run the range from cherubic to brittle. She’s also sensationally sexy, with a wide killer smile that can also make her appear to be incredibly fragile.

Was this the real Edie Sedgwick? I have no idea. But Miller makes Edie sympathetic and sad, and more than just a curiosity. Her performance feels like the breakthrough performance in a huge career.

It’s unlikely, for example, that Edie had an affair with Bob Dylan. In the movie, Hayden Christensen, whom I’ve accused of being wooden in the past, does a great job playing a Dylanesque character named Billy Quinn. Dylan didn’t want his name used, but it’s him, right down to the harmonica. Dylan should be flattered. He comes across as hot stuff and never looked better.

But Edie’s real affair was with Dylan associate Bob Neuwirth. She lived with him for two years, but he’s not in the movie. Some books about Edie and Dylan suggest they may have had a fling, but only Dylan knows and he’s not telling.

Dylan, of course, is famous for not owning up to his personal life. He likes to keep secret the number of children he had (after his initial four with wife Sara Lownds) and the names of their mothers. When I reported a few years ago that he’d romanced Raquel Welch in recent times, he denied it even though it was true.

James Naughton is scary as Edie’s abusive father, and Edward Herrmann is heartbreaking as the family accountant. See “Factory Girl” for all of them, and don’t worry about the details. None of them will change the fate of the republic, or bring Edie back.
