Sandra Bullock was kissing and telling at the MTV Movie Awards.

Wearing a glittery black dress, the actress received a standing ovation as she accepted the MTV Generation Award in her first live televised appearance since she split with unfaithful husband Jesse James earlier this year.

The 45-year-old actress used her acceptance speech to clear up tabloid rumours: "Number one, I'm not dead" and to smooch Scarlett Johansson.

"Now that we have done that, can we please go back to normal?" said a smiling Bullock.

Kristen Stewart won the first golden popcorn trophy handed out at the fan-favourite MTV award show, hosted by funnyman Aziz Ansari.

Stewart was honoured for Best Female Performance for her role as Bella Swan in The Twilight Saga: New Moon at Sunday's over-the-top and often-bleeped ceremony at the Gibson Amphitheatre.

"I guess Twilight is really awesome, and I agree," said a fidgety Stewart. "Woo!"

Stewart and her Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson also landed the Best Kiss award for the second consecutive year.

Other winners included Obsessed co-stars Beyonce Knowles and Ali Larter for Best Fight, Jennifer's Body star Amanda Seyfried for the first-ever "Scared-as-shit Moment" and Up in the Air co-star Anna Kendrick for Breakout Star.

"This is the coolest moment ever," said Kendrick, clutching her popcorn trophy.

"This is going on my coffee table."

Avatar star, Australian Sam Worthington had been nominated in the Best Kiss and Best Fight categories.

He's also up for Biggest Bad Ass Star, while fellow Aussie Isabel Lucas is nominated for Best WTF Moment for Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen.

Tom Cruise launched the show as his Tropic Thunder character Les Grossman, a profanity-spewing Hollywood producer.

In the opening bit, Grossman used Michael Cera as a human bookend and berated The Karate Kid star Jaden Smith as his father Will Smith looked on.

He later appeared on stage and danced alongside pop star Jennifer Lopez to Ludacris' Get Back.
