MTV Awards. . .

Not that I watched it, but this just couldn’t escape my eye. . .

After the virtual performance award went to Gollum, actor Andy Serkis _ who voiced the character and performed the movements for its computer animation _ appeared on screen to thank the filmmaker and special effects crew for their work in bringing the monster to life.

Then, the emaciated Gollum clamored over to snatch the trophy from Serkis’ hands.

“You’re a liar and a thief,” Gollum hissed. “It’s mine!”

Gollum went on to deliver an expletive-filled tirade against the filmmakers, actors, MTV and audience, while Serkis stood by looking embarrassed.

That Gollum, always causing trouble. . .
