In many ways, MTV has the right idea with the MTV Movie Awards, which honor the year's best in big screen fights, kisses and villains. (Best Kiss winners Briana Evigan, left, and Robert Hoffman kiss onstage as they accept their award for "Step Up 2: The Streets.")

If we had our say come Emmy time, we'd also pay tribute to the watercooler and forget about issuing "Boston Legal" its umpteenth nomination.
