The kids, they love Steve Carell

steve carell; mtvSteve Carell, of The Office, is among the actors nominated for Best Comedic Performance on the MTV Movie Awards. He's not nominated for The Office, but for last summer's hilarious movie, The 40-Year-Old Virgin. He joins the ranks of Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, who were nominated for Wedding Crashers. While not much weight is put into winning the awards--the show really is all about the shock value--it's great to see Steve Carell get some recognition among the hip youngsters, isn't it? These kids are finally discovering what longtime The Daily Show viewers have known for years: Steve Carell is the funniest man on the planet. Was that extreme?

On a sidenote: the two couples nominated for Best Kiss are Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal in Brokeback Mountain.

The awards air June 8.

Haven't the MTV crowd been watching TDS since the beginning? I'm 19 and my friends and I definitely loved Steve Carell back in his Even Stev/phen days. I don't think this is a recent revelation.

My vote goes to Heath and Jake, no question. The kiss at the beginning of their first reunion, in the parking lot where Michelle Williams sees them, is one of the hottest kisses I've ever seen.

Hope the MTV crowd doesn't pull an AMPAS on them and give it to the less worthy.
