 Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Chris
Evans and Jeremy Renner, the star cast of upcoming summer
blockbuster "Avengers: Age of Ultron," handed their co-star
Downey the MTV Generation Award, playfully kneeling at his feet
as he gave his speech.
"I've grown up, struggled, failed, succeeded, partied way too
much, repented, begged for second chances and literally clawed
my way to the top," the 50-year-old actor said.
"With my fellow Avengers, I advise you to dream big, work hard,
keep your noses clean, be of service and, because you can,
define your generation," he said.
"Fault," about two teenagers stricken with cancer who fall in
love, won three awards: Movie of the Year, best female
performance for lead actress Shailene Woodley and best kiss for
Woodley and co-star Ansel Elgort.
Woodley, 23, dedicated her accolade to author John Green, who
penned the novel on which the film was based.
"It changed my life when I read it and dramatically influenced
who I am today, and his words will transcend time," Woodley said
as Green shed tears in the audience.
Woodley also received the night's Trailblazer Award, which
rewards individuals carving a unique and inspirational path in
movies, from her "Divergent" co-star Miles Teller, who praised
the actress for being "an incredible force of nature."

Viacom Inc-owned MTV's Movie Awards ushers in the summer blockbuster
movie season, and is known for its more unconventional award
categories voted for by fans, such as best scared-as-s**t
performance, won by Jennifer Lopez for low-budget horror movie "Boy
Next Door."
The night's most irreverent moments came courtesy of comedian host
Amy Schumer, who filled her monologue and movie parody sketches with
sexual innuendo.
She also shared a passionate kiss with model Amber Rose, while
"Pitch Perfect" star Rebel Wilson made a joke about her vagina while
dressed in a bra and angel wings on stage.
"Neighbors" stars Zac Efron and Dave Franco accepted their
popcorn-shaped accolade for best comedic duo dressed in character
from the raucous comedy, with Efron grabbing Franco's crotch on
stage.
"Neighbors" and dystopian young adult thriller "The Maze Runner"
also won three awards each, but most were not televised.
