Another awards show, another no-show from Eminem. But, apparently it's a winning combination for the young rapper-turned-actor as he "took home" awards for Best Male Performance and Breakthrough Male Performance at this weekend's MTV Movie Awards. Eminem previously won the Best Original Song Oscar for "Lose Yourself," all stemming from his semi-autobiographical film debut 8 Mile.

Kirsten Dunst was also a two-time award winner this weekend nabbing the award for Best Female Performance as Mary Jane from Spider-Man and Best Kiss for her rain-soaked smooch with Tobey Maguire from the same movie.

But it was a kiss of another nature that seemed to set the awards show abuzz as t.A.T.u performed a steamy number that involved numerous female couples exchanging lip-locks. t.A.T.u. is a teenage Russian lesbian duo who are known for making out with each other in their videos, on-stage, etc.

In other news, the big virtual duel between Attack Of The Clones and The Two Towers turned out to be a draw. Gollum and The Two Towers took home the award for Best Virtual Performance, while Yoda and his Star Wars crew took home the Best Fight Award.

Surprisingly, 12-year-old Daveigh Chase (pictured) took home the top prize in the Best Villain category for her performance in The Ring. In the Best Movie category, there weren't any surprises though as Mr. Matrix himself, Keanu Reeves, named The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers as the golden popcorn winner.

MTV will debut the Movie Awards show on Thursday, June 5 at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time and replay it all weekend long.
