The night's musical performances included a duet by Rihanna and Eminem singing "The Monster" before they head out on tour together this summer. There was also a tribute to Paul Walker, a fixture in the street car racing franchise "Fast and Furious," who died in a car crash last year.

The awards are an opportunity for film fans to pick their favorites, in contrast to most of the film industry awards, like the Oscars, which are voted by elite industry groups.

"The Wolf of Wall Street" and "American Hustle" got a chance to redeem themselves after walking away empty-handed from the Oscars on March 2. They each landed eight nods for the MTV awards, but also won little on Sunday.
