Highlights from MTV Movie Awards Speeches; Clever, Heartfelt, and Just Plain Funny!

Comedic genius Conan O'Brien emerged from a 5,000 pound flaming bucket of popcorn to kick-off an epic 2014 "MTV Movie Awards" by breaking the WORLD record for the most celebrity cameos in a show open. Conan masterfully film-bombed 50 of the biggest and most eclectic names in pop culture including Taylor Swift, Sir Anthony Hopkins, the cast of "The Big Bang Theory," Adam Sandler, Katy Perry, Andy Samberg, Jack White, Ashton Kutcher, Martin Scorsese, Demi Moore, Emma Watson, Russell Crowe, Paul Rudd, Jessica Alba, Lupita Nyong'o and Skrillex. Telecast from Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE, the evening celebrated fan-favorite movies with comedy, action, music and of course, Hollywood superstars.

"The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" captured the most golden popcorns of the evening, with Josh Hutcherson grabbing "Best Male Performance," Jennifer Lawrence winning "Best Female Performance," and Johnny Depp presenting the star-studded cast with the coveted "Movie of the Year" award. The cast of "Entourage" reunited for the first-time on-stage to honor actor and producer Mark Wahlberg with the "Generation Award" for his extensive, diverse body of work in the film and television industry. Quintessential leading man Channing Tatum won the third annual "Trailblazer Award." Jordana Brewster honored Paul Walker with a heartfelt, personal speech that introduced a moving tribute spotlighting his career.

Zac Effron won "Best Shirtless" award, just before Rita Ora helped him show the WORLD exactly why he was worthy of this accolade. Conan mashed up two of the most popular award categories by debuting the first-ever "best kissing fight" with Will Arnett. Later in the evening, Orlando Bloom and Evangeline Lilly won "Best Fight" for "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug." "Best Kiss" went to the lip-smacking threesome of Emma Roberts, Jennifer Aniston and Will Poulter for "We're the Millers," while presenters Zac Efron, Seth Rogen and Dave Franco hosted their own kissing Contest with two women from the audience, and even Seth Rogen's mom. Shailene Woodley won the first-ever "Favorite Character" award, which was voted on socially, for her role in "Divergent."

Per People here are some of the highlights from the best of the "thank you" speeches.

From Jared Leto who won Best On-Screen Transformation for Dallas Buyers Club: ""Love you you want to love and live how you wish to live, and never let anyone stop you from turning your dreams into reality."

Jonah Hill won for Best Comedic Performance for The Wolf of Wall Street: ""I used to watch this awards show at home with all my friends, so first I want to thank all my friends."

Mila Kunis took home Best Villain for Oz the Great and Powerful: ""Listen, you guys, you just made my 12-year-old self dream come true," This is by far the coolest award and I just realized I was the only woman nominated and I won!"

For Best Fight Orlando Bloom (who accepted the award) and Evangeline Lilly won for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug: "I really want to thank the orcs, because inside each of those gnarly, dirty, sweaty latex suits was a stunt man or woman who nearly killed themselves every day on set just to make sure that we looked good. So this is for them."

Unsurprisingly, Movie of the Year went to The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. In a special dedication to former co-start Philip Seymour Hoffman, Hutcherson said, "I know that if Philip were here he would really think this was really cool, and to have him our movies was one of the coolest things in the world. He's one of the actors I've looked up to my entire life, and we think about him every day on set. So wherever he is, this definitely goes out to him as well."

Chaining Tatum took home the Trailblazer Award with a little grain of salt. Presenter Jonah Hill said, "What's a more trailblazing experience than f--- gorgeous man becoming a movie star?" But Tatum, being ever humble remarked, "It's weird because 10 Years ago I was sitting in front of my TV watching the show just like people at home right now, and I didn't have the faintest thought that I could be up here talking to y'all."

Though we all knew Mark Wahlberg would be given the Generation Award he was quick to poke fun at how his career actually began. "I'm a lucky guy in so many ways, to have worked with so many talented people, to have Gone from literally being incarcerated to having a one-hit rap career to having an underwear modeling career."

But the award that everyone always tunes into see is Best Kiss, which was unfortunately not recreated as winners Will Poulter, Jennifer Aniston, and Emma Roberts for We're the Millers could not all be on hand. Poulter, who accepted the award did say; "On movie sets often actors hook up, it happens, you know," Me, Jen and Emma were so happy together. But you know, dating two women is hard. I don't know how anyone does it. But I am coping, I'm managing."

Guess we'll have to wait until next year for a good kiss...
