10 Best Ways Actors Ever Received Awards

10. Gollum Steals Andy Serkis' MTV Movie Award

Awards shows love gimmicky skits where CGI or animated characters make an appearance, and the 2003 MTV Movie Awards might lay claim to the best one ever, when Andy Serkis won the impressively ahead-of-its-time award for Best Virtual Performance.

Serkis scooped the gong for his turn as Gollum in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, and because Serkis was in New Zealand shooting pickups for Return of the King at the time, he accepted the award via video-link.

Moments into Serkis' speech, however, a fully CGI-rendered Gollum runs into the studio, grabs the award, and starts proclaiming that he's the real reason Serkis won.

Gollum then goes on a self-hating rant while Serkis watches in agony, before Gollum starts dropping F-bombs and basically slagging off everyone in sight, including Serkis, Peter Jackson, MTV, and even Dobby the House Elf.

The skit quickly went viral - before, you now, "viral" was really a thing - and proved popular enough to actually win an award itself: the 2004 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation (Short Form). Brilliant.
