1992 Movie Awards Summary
But all hope wasn't lost for the first MTV Movie Awards. When Lifetime Achievement Winner, Jason Voorhees ( Friday The 13th ) removed his mask to reveal that he was actually Jon Lovitz, the tension melted away. It was the perfect ice-breaker to lead into a big night for sci-fi action blockbuster Terminator 2 (six wins!), including Best Performance awards for Linda Hamilton, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Edward Furlong.
Speaking of performances, because this is MTV, there were plenty of showstoppers on hand. En Vogue played their smash hit, "My Lovin (Youre Never Gonna Get It," and were followed by one-hit-wonder Ugly Kid Joes "Everything About You" and Arrested Developments "Tennessee." But the unlikely musical highlight may have been William Shatner, who performed the choruses of all the nominated Best Songs (Bryan Adams "Everything I Do" won, swooooon). So to recap, everyone from the Governator to the captain of the Starship Enterprise came out for what amounted to be a romantic, if clumsy, first time for the MTV Movie Awards.
