Bruno Lands On Eminem At The MTV Movie Awards

By Eric Ditzian (MTV.com)

The award for most outrageous presenter at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards surely goes to Bruno, who surprised an unamused Eminem with a front-row seat to his manhood.

When it was his turn to present the Golden Popcorn statue for Best Male Performance, Bruno, the gay Austrian fashion reporter, descended from the rafters dressed as some sort of angel - if an angel would be wearing wings, a white gladiator's costume and a jockstrap. He landed directly on Em, who had just returned to his seat after performing a medley of two tracks from his new album, Relapse, until his legs were on either side of the rapper's head and his bare buttocks were exposed.

Em then seemed to utter an expletive and request his bodyguards to get Bruno off of him. A minor melee ensued and Brüno dangled above Em, who quickly got out of his seat and left the auditorium as cameras followed his exit.

Somewhere in there, Bruno announced the winner of the Best Male Performance: Zac Efron, for his performance in High School Musical 3: Senior Year.

Efron had a tough act to follow - "That was weird!," he said - but he was gracious in his thanks for his award.
