Here on Planet MTV, Keanu Reeves isn’t just any pretty-boy actor. He’s the best actor. All righty, then.
Reeves was named best actor, his 1999 sci-fi hit, “The Matrix,” best film at the ninth annual MTV Movie Awards, held Saturday at the Sony Pictures backlot in Culver City, Calif.
“The Matrix” was the night’s big winner, taking home a field-best three awards. The other multiple winners were: “Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me” and “Cruel Intentions,” which took two trophies a piece.
Of course, at the MTV Movie Awards, it’s not who wins, it’s what the winners say backstage. In Reeves‘ case, it was this: “It’s all good.”
All righty, then.
