Watson wins ‘Trailblazer’
Continued from Page 23 Hosted by “Pitch Perfect” comedy star Rebel Wilson, the annual youth-oriented show also handed out early prizes to Bradley Cooper and his co-star Jennifer Lawrence for best kiss for their clinch at the end of the comedy romance. The MTV Movie Awards, one of Hollywood’s biggest youthfriendly ceremonies, rewards movie performances from the past year as well as promoting upcoming blockbusters and new music.
Fans will be treated later to the first sneak peek of “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” ahead of the release in November of the sequel to the young adult hit movie.
Watson, 22, found fame as brainy schoolgirl Hermione Granger in the first “Harry Potter” movie in 2001. She has gone on to make some 15 movies, including lead roles in all eight Potter films.
“I look back at all of the work I have done over the past 14 years and many things come to mind, notably how bad my hair was in the first Harry Potter film!” the British actress joked, accepting her award. Performance: “Pitch Perfect”

“Becoming yourself is really hard and confusing,” she added.
“Django Unchained” and raunchy comedy “Ted” went into Sunday’s ceremony with a leading seven nominations apiece, including the top prize, movie of the year.
Winners are chosen by fans and voting for the movie of the year continues throughout the twohour ceremony broadcast live on MTV around the world from Los Angeles.
The MTV Movie Awards are as much about the anticipated movies of the upcoming summer season as they are about the winning films of last year.
The show also promises extended footage from next month’s “Iron Man 3” and the world premiere of “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” trailer. Stars from other summer films — including Chris Pine, Zoe Saldana and Zachary Quinto from the “Star Trek” sequel and Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez from the “Fast & Furious” franchise — will appear throughout the ceremony.
Hollywood has increasingly used the fan-driven MTV Movie Awards as a platform to promote its summer product and this year, the show was moved up from June to April to incorporate the entire blockbuster season, which begins in early May.
Following is a list of winners in the fan-voted awards:
Movie of the Year: Avengers”
