Lip locks, full moons, and, oh yeah, awards. Funny business as usual at the 2004 MTV Movie Awards.

Kill Bill: Volume 1 was the big winner at the show, held Saturday at the Sony Pictures Studio in Culver City, California.

Movie stars with summer flicks to push (Tom Cruise, Halle Berry, Kirsten Dunst, etc.) and music stars with new albums to push (the Yeah Yeahs Yeahs, the Beastie Boys, Eminem's D12) didn't do poorly for themselves, either.

Neither did Quentin Tarantino.

Tarantino's ode to revenge movies, kung-fu movies and big, fat, bloody action sequences picked up a field-best three tubs of golden popcorn--what passes for an award at the event--including a Best Female Performance honor for Kill Bill killer Uma Thurman.

"Quentin spent many years writing this for me and wants to be honored as if he were dead tonight," Thurman said. "We don't have time, so I'll have to honor [him] as if [he] were living. Thank you, Quentin."

Kill Bill also was lauded for Lucy Liu's evil-doing (Best Villain) and Thurman and Chiaki Kuriyama's on-screen dust-up (Best Fight).

Other key honorees included: Johnny Depp, avenging his Oscar loss with a Best Male Performance win for Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl; and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King adding to its Oscar haul with two more trophies, including one for Best Movie.

Lindsay Lohan, at 17, the youngest-ever host of the MTV Movie Awards, also became the first host to double as a popcorn-tub recipient, honored as Breakthrough Female performer for Freaky Friday.

Carmen Electra accepted the award for Best Kiss for her smooch work in Starsky & Hutch with Amy Smart and Owen Wilson. With Smart and Wilson's lips absent, Electra made do with those of presenters Snoop Dogg and Paris Hilton.

Presenters included anybody who's anybody who's got a big movie coming out soon, including Cruise (Collateral), Berry (Catwoman), Dunst (Spider-Man 2), Vin Diesel (The Chronicles of Riddick) and Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans (White Chicks).

Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn and Rings master Peter Jackson put in face time via short films.

The Eminem-graced rap outfit D12 provided the musical highlight in the form of a fashion highlight when Mr. Mathers, dressed like Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose, bummed out the audience with the flashing of his bare bum.

MTV, which produced the Super Bowl halftime show that produced Janet Jackson's bare breast, announced Monday that Eminem's backside would be excised from the broadcast version of the show, to air Thursday at 9 p.m. (ET/PT).
