The
2000 MTV Movie Awards were hosted by
Sarah Jessica Parker. In conjunction with the success of a certain
HBO Original Series at the time, the awards show presented a parody of
Sex and the City and
The Matrix during the program's opening. It featured the SATC cast (
Samantha Jones,
Miranda Hobbes, and
Charlotte York) as they listened intently as
Carrie Bradshaw (Parker's character on the series) describes getting caught in the Matrix, which is shown in flashbacks and in the narration style heard usually on the TV series.
Laurence Fishburne appeared in the spoof in a creative superimposition from the film, as well as
Vince Vaughn (playing the supposed "
White Rabbit") and
Jimmy Fallon, who played
Keanu Reeves's character,
Neo, from the film. Also, it noted Parker's status as a
fashion icon by appearing in no less than 15 different costumes during the duration of the awards ceremonies, even appearing in nothing but a bath towel.
