What does Superman have to do to to get recognized these days? Maybe winning a Popcorn Trophy at the 2014 MTV Movie Awards could be a start.

However, the Best Hero category segment which Cavill won never made it to broadcast television for the 4.8 million average viewers that tuned in.  That segment never aired and was only announced at the very end of the live show.

But to make matters worst, MTV announced that Henry Cavill won the award for his role in... "White House Down"?



MTV mistakenly had switched the movie titles during their live show and on their Movie Awards website between "Man of Steel" and "White House Down" whom actor Channing Tatum was also a nominee of the award.

Zach Snyder was even mistakenly credited as the Director for "White House Down".

The movie titles were later corrected in an MTV press release.

Opposite Cavill, actress Mila Kunis won MTV's Best Villain Award for her role in "Oz the Great and Powerful", that segment was actually aired on broadcast televesion.

People shouldn't put too much stock on an awards show that hands Popcorn as their trophy.

What's sad is Conan O'Brien is hilarious & was very funny on the MTV Awards but they barely used him.
MTV is garbage.
