We all know about the nearly three-decade legacy of MTV's Video Music Awards, which singlehandedly instilled a serious cool factor into the tired old format of conventional awards shows. ... more But as it happens, that institution's sister broadcast, the MTV Movie Awards, this year hosted by Jason Sudeikis, is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, and it will air its usual star- and shenanigans-studded two hours on Sunday, June 5, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on MTV. Over the past two decades, the network's Movie Awards shows have been remembered less for their actual winners (the categories and nominees have historically been, and continue to be, on the fun and frivolous side) than their elaborate parodies of the year's top films, bizarro acceptance speeches and smattering of groundbreaking live performances.

Below, we look back at 10 moments that, when relived in succession, make the case for the MTV Movie Awards' spot in the annals of classic cable television.
