2000 MTV Movie Awards
The 2000 MTV Movie Awards were hosted by Sarah Jessica Parker. The ceremony aired on MTV on Saturday, June 3, 2000 from Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California. In conjunction with the success of Sex and the City, the awards show presented a parody of Sex and the City and The Matrix during the program's opening. It featured the Sex and the City cast as they listened intently as Carrie Bradshaw describes getting caught in the Matrix, which is shown in flashbacks and in the narration style heard usually on the television series. Laurence Fishburne appeared in the spoof in a creative superimposition from the film, as well as Vince Vaughn and Jimmy Fallon, who played Keanu Reeves's character, Neo, from the film. Also, it noted Parker's status as a fashion icon by appearing in no less than 15 different costumes during the duration of the awards ceremonies, even appearing in nothing but a bath towel.
