Head comedy writer for the MTV Movie Awards, Scott Aukerman said on his blog that “the Brüno/Eminem incident was staged” according to EW /L.A. Times (here’s the moment in case you missed it). However, the post has now been pulled. You can figure out from there what that means.
Yesterday in the aftermath of the event, many assumed the stunt was half-staged with Em’s angry response being real (perhaps a gag btwn MTV and Sacha Baron Cohen, but with Em not fully aware how far it would go), but EW says, the moment was done with “Eminem’s consent and participation.”
You’re crushed, we can tell. Life goes on… In related MTV Movie Awards news, who’s the idiot that wrote this? Is he serious? It’s not like Stiller was getting an Academy Award.
Ha. I was talking to my cousin about this this morning. My opinion came down to this: If it wasn’t staged, kudos to Cohen for doing it and highlighting what a douchebag Eminem is. If it wasn’t staged, then kudos to Eminem for having a sense of humor. And great acting skills.
