From a fash-nerd perspective, the MTV Movie Awards rule. You have no idea how dressy everyone will take it, and stylists seem to stunt on each other in terms of new designers and obscure labels. Plus, where else in the world can you get a red carpet that features shorts (a la Leighton Meester's Christian Cota) as well as a black floor-length draped evening gown with a plunging neckline and a sky-high slit like the Maria Lucia Hohan number on special MTV Style correspondent Kat Graham? See? It's totally magical.

So it'll come as no surprise that our favorite looks of the night ran the sartorial gamut something crazy. We went ballistic when "Twilight" actress Julia Jones cleaned way up from her usual werewolf threads to glow in a bright, neon yellow laser-cut Joy Cioci dress. Not only did Kat flip for the color, Julia mentioned that even Paris Hilton leaned over to ask her who she was wearing. You know some covert calls were made to stylists right from our pre-show.

We also adored how the ladylike peplum trend is making its way from the runway to the red carpet. Charlize Theron wore a beautiful red Lanvin version, and Emma Stone wore a black and grey iteration. Julianne Hough and her enviably hard-body torso also featured a structured version in a long-sleeved cutout dress from Lady Gaga fave Sally LaPointe.

And, well, we couldn't quite figure out if the apron-like tie-front side panel on Emma Watson's marbled blue, grey and black Brood dress quite counts as a peplum, but who cares? Honestly, the "Perks of Being a Wallflower" star looked exquisite, despite confessing to pre-show jitters via Twitter. Check out the "Perks of Being a Wallflower" trailer to get a tease of this phenomenal movie.

If Hailee Steinfeld's Louis Vuitton sequined-lapel tux was the curveball on the pantsuit last year, this year, Shailene Woodley takes the title in her gorgeous Stella McCartney. Black halter-neck with a deep V, Shailene takes what could've been a sad-face menswear risk and transforms it to a sleek, dramatic and elegant option. The devil is definitely in the details, and this was all about the impeccable fit.

Speaking of dramatic, we can't overlook Christina Ricci's bonkers black Christian Siriano for Timex dress. Yes, you read that right. The strapless bodice had a grip of actual watch faces embroidered into the fabric. It was masterfully executed. We're talking nary a stray lump nor a single iota of added bulk onto the starlet's whippet-thin frame.

And, finally, Kristen Stewart took a fashion risk in a silver, yellow and purple Guishem by Guillermo Jop dress. It was short, sweet and revealed her willowy stems. Plus, in predictably awesome form, minutes after she left the press line, K.Stew discreetly hopped out of heels to step into comfy sneakers.

Jaw-dropping, heart-pounding, gut-busting moments galore. See what just happened at the 21st annual MTV Movie Awards!

WATCH: Emma Watson in 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower'

Hermione Granger is all grown up, and she's a bit of a free spirit. In September's buzzed-about indie The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Emma Watson sheds the reticence (and flowing locks) of her Harry Potter alter-ego and embraces her wild side. In the span of the two-and-a-half-minute trailer alone, she drinks beer out of a Solo cup, dances suggestively at a party, car-surfs on the flatbed of a pickup truck, and entertains a crowd with a burlesque performance at a Rocky Horror Picture Show screening. Oh, and she shows off her (very believable) American accent. Watch below!

"The Hunger Games" is nominated in several categories, including Best Movie, at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards tonight (June 3). Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and the rest of the cast have surely gotten massive career boosts from the runaway success of the box-office phenomenon. We can only imagine, then, how badly some of the actors who didn't make the cut must feel.

What sort of choices did they make in their own careers that caused filmmakers to excise them from the flick? Elizabeth Banks, of course, won the coveted role of Effie Trinket. In this exclusive MTV "After Hours" episode, the "Zack and Miri Make a Porno" and "40 Year Old Virgin" veteran revealed some never-before-seen footage to MTV News.

"It was an amazing experience [making 'The Hunger Games']. We had such a great cast. But, you know, there were so many really great actors who had to be cut because of time," Banks explained. "We had to cut some people out of the film. It's not because they were terrible in the film."

Certainly, the army of "Gleeks" would have loved to have seen Chris Colfer in "The Hunger Games," right? Chloë Grace Moretz turned up in last month's "Dark Shadows" but who's to say she couldn't have had time in her schedule for the "Games" a little before? This previously lost footage reveals how, for instance, Jeanne-Claude Van Damme would have approached a role in "The Hunger Games." (Here's a hint: It doesn't involve a shirt.)

"Actors make choices; that's what we do. Unfortunately, there are some actors who make really, really bad choices," Banks said.

"New Girl" star Max Greenfield really gave his performance his all, from what this "After Hours" footage revealed. Colfer tried more than one approach to the line "I volunteer!" Moretz had her own ideas about the movie's subject matter and ?uestlove had a great character name. Vinny Guadagnino, from MTV's own "Jersey Shore," had some unique ideas, as did singer Robin Thicke. Clark Gregg from "The Avengers?" Creative, as well.

"There was a bit of improv. Some would say too much," Banks said. "I would say that."

"Of course, I'm so proud of this film," she added. "Mostly, I'm proud that the editor cut all the deadweight."

Check out this unearthed footage cut from "The Hunger Games" and then judge for yourself whether it should have stayed in the movie.
