In a night where the MTV voters seemed to try their best to be as diverse as possible in their annual Movie Award winners, only one star of the silver screen appeared to be a unanimous fan favorite — Johnny Depp, who managed to win honors in both the Best Comedic Performance and the Best Villain categories.

“I’m not a very funny person,” the actor, who could barely be heard over the screams of the audience, claimed while accepting his Best Comedic Performance award for his now-iconic role of Captain Jack Sparrow in last summer’s mega-hit Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End. “Not even remotely funny.”

Looking dashingly handsome and clean-cut, Depp, who turns 45 on June 9, was called upon later in the evening to make a repeat trip to the stage when his title role in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street was awarded in the Best Villain category.

Oddly enough, though Johnny won both of these categories, it was Will Smith who voters rewarded with the Best Male Performance award for his role in I Am Legend. Joined onstage by his son Jaden, Will remembered having been at the 1988 MTV Movie Awards — except… the annual ceremony didn’t begin until 1992.

For Juno star Ellen Page, who walked away from both the Oscars and Golden Globes empty-handed, she appeared to be somewhat consoled by her win in the Best Female Performance category.

Zac Efron, who was in the audience with on-off girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens, managed to thank everyone but his gal-pal during his acceptance speech for Best Breakthrough Performance in Hairspray.

Tom Cruise got down on one knee to present the Generation Award to goofball Adam Sandler, who then launched into a self-aggrandizing version of “Nobody Does It Better,” after which he announced, “This is the most arrogant thing I’ve ever done.”

Of course, what are the MTV Movie Awards without the oddball categories that give the ceremony its unique flavor? There was Best Kiss, presented to Step Up 2: The Streets’ Briana Evigan and Robert Hoffman by an almost naked Rainn Wilson (thank God for strategically placed teddy bears!) and Megan Fox. And Best Fight, awarded to Never Back Down’s Sean Faris and Cam Gigandet.

And one of the evening’s biggest controversies came during the presentation of the Best Summer Movie So Far category, as Seth Rogen and James Franco whipped out a “pretend” baggie of marijuana and smoked a “fake” joint — “This certainly isn’t good sh–,” Franco told the audience after taking a puff — before presenting the award to Iron Man. However, since the cameras pulled as far away as possible from the podium during this presentation, it was hard to tell exactly what was going on onstage.

Johnny Depp loves French wine so much, he had 10 crates flown 4,147 miles to the U.S. during filming for his new movie Public Enemies.

The 44-year-old - who lives in the European nation with longterm partner and native Vanessa Paradis - asked for a selection from his own vineyard to be sent to the set in Illinois because he hates the taste of American wine.

A source tells British newspaper the Daily Express, “He is really enjoying filming but the only problem is that Illinois isn’t exactly famous for its vineyards and Johnny is quite particular about his wine. When he couldn’t put up with the local wine any longer, he decided to organise for a shipment of his own to be sent across.”

Johnny Depp has credited his partner Vanessa Paradis with saving him from his troubled youth.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star spent much of his teens experimenting with drugs and admits his destructive behaviour continued into adulthood.

But Depp is convinced that meeting his longterm girlfriend in 1998 was a turning point in his life - crediting Paradis with giving him a settled home life and emotional stability.

He says, “The encounter with Vanessa radically transformed me. It was liking waking up from a nightmare and then it’s a sunny morning. The birth of our children was a wonder of life for me. If anything, that is the proof that there has to be a God or some other beings of wonderful almightiness.”

The couple has two children together - Lily-Rose, eight, and John, six.

Johnny Depp despised his teen idol status in the 1980s - because he hated the idea of posing with his top off for girls magazines.

The Pirates Of The Caribbean hunk first shot to fame in U.S. teen show 21 Jump Street and fast became a favorite with young female viewers. But the “shy” star hated fans’ lustful admiration and the fame which followed, prompting him to shave off his hair and eyebrows in a bid to distract attention.

He tells Britain’s magazine OK!, “I just didn’t want to make a career of taking my shirt off. I wanted to shave off all my hair, even my eyebrows. And I did! I don’t fault TV stars who do teen magazines. They took offers that gave the big money fast, but they were dead in two years. I never wanted that. Frankly, I’ve always been shy, paranoid, whatever word you want. I hate fame - I’ve done everything to avoid it.”

But the Hollywood hunk spotted the potentially fatal incident and leaped into action.

An eyewitness tells British newspaper News Of The World, “Johnny slammed into the group with arms outspread, shoving them all back.”
