The 2005 MTV Movie Awards was hosted by Jimmy Fallon.

[2] A special award, the Silver Bucket of Excellence, was presented to the 1985 film The Breakfast Club.

Also, Tom Cruise was presented with the first-ever MTV Generation Award.

The awards were also marked by Nine Inch Nails' decision to pull out because MTV refused to let them perform using as a backdrop an unaltered image of President George W. Bush.

Frontman Trent Reznor commented, "apparently the image of our president is as offensive to MTV as it is to me".
