Ben Stiller made fun of the Oscars after being presented with his Generation Award at last night’s MTV Movie Awards.

The ‘Night at the Museum’ actor was given his prize by Kiefer Sutherland, puppet Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and Zac Efron and says they were keen not to not take themselves too seriously unlike stars at the more prestigious Academy Awards.

He said: “That was really fun. We thought it was pretty funny at the Oscars this year when all the nominees were lauded by their peers in a serious way. We wanted to play around with that.

“I was probably least impressed with Triumph. But Zac is the sweetest guy. Kiefer, for me, was awesome. I’m a huge ’24′ fan.”

He revealed: “I’ll always find a way to stress out about anything. If I won. If I’m thinking I’m going to win. If I don’t think I’m going to win. But I feel we had a nice balance up there.”
