Depp plunders MTV Movie Awards

Depp (aka Captain Jack Sparrow) took out the Best Performance award at this year's MTV Movie Awards in Los Angeles today, while the film was given top honours.

Depp joined Pirates producer Jerry Bruckheimer to accept the Golden Popcorn trophy.

"This is the man who did it all right here, Johnny Depp," Bruckheimer said. "Without him, we wouldn't be here."

"I'd like to thank this man and Disney for not firing me first," Depp said.

UK comedian Sasha Baron Cohen earned the funny award of the night for his effort in Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.

"Unfortunately, Borat can't be here tonight," Cohen said. "He's been feeling the pressures of fame and had to check himself into rehab."

Cohen also won the Best Kiss award for his pash with Will Ferrell in Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. The two comedians shared a long, passionate kiss on stage as they accepted their awards, which degenerated into a faux makeout session on the floor.
