While the show has not reached its halfway point, the award for most outrageous presenter at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards surely goes to Sacha Baron Cohen’s Brüno, 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, Brüno, the fictional gay Austrian fashion, descended from the rafters dressed as a sort of angel. He lowered himself directly over Em, who had just returned to his seat after performing 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 Brüno 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, Brüno 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.
