Eminem snagged two MTV Movie Awards on Saturday
at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, for his performance in "8 Mile."
Eminem took honors for best male performance
and best breakthrough male performance for his role as "Rabbit" in
the semi-autobiographical film.
Because he was absent, Eminem pre-taped two messages
for the crowd.
"I heard Puffy would be there and I chickened
out," he told the audience of his absence.
When won for best breakthrough male performance,
he took a shot at Mariah Carey saying "I can’t believe I beat Mariah (Carey)
for ‘Glitter.’"
Other winners were Kirsten Dunst for her kissing
work in "Spider Man," the animated character Yoda for best fight scene
in "`Star Wars: Episode II — Attack of the Clones,” and Austin Powers
for his comedic performance in "Austin Powers In Goldmember."
The 12th annual MTV Movie Awards will air Thursday
on MTV.
