The
2005 MTV Movie Awards was hosted by
Jimmy Fallon. A special award, the Silver Bucket of Excellence, was presented to the
1985 film
Breakfast Club. Also,
Tom Cruise was presented with the first-ever MTV Generation Award. Neither of these two special awards were voted upon by the public. The awards were also marked by
Nine Inch Nails' decision to pull out because MTV refused to let them perform using as a backdrop an unaltered image of President
George W. Bush. Frontman
Trent Reznor commented, "apparently the image of our president is as offensive to MTV as it is to me". Foo Fighters replaced them.
