LOS ANGELES (CBS) ― The MTV Movie Awards were aired live and had the often-outrageous comedian Sarah Silverman as the host.

So it was no surprise when Silverman opened her show with a monologue that skewered Jack Nicholson, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan.

"Oh my God, this is weird. Jack Nicolson. I'm not kidding. You have literally been in every single one of my favorite actresses," she said to the actor, who laughed at the joke.

After an off-color joke about Tobey Maguire, she turned her venom on Lindsay Lohan.

"I feel bad for Lindsay Lohan, obviously," she said. "She needs structure, she needs a father figure. She needs someone who will take the time to tell her that she is a rude little pig.

Lohan, who checked herself into rehab last week, wasn't in the audience. But Silverman's next victim, Paris Hilton, who is due in jail Tuesday, was in the audience.

"In a couple of days, Paris Hilton is going to jail," said Silverman, as the crowd erupted into applause. The camera immediately cut to Hilton in the audience, who was smiling and looked like she was trying to brace herself for what the comedian would say next.

Silverman followed with a crude joke at Hilton's expense, and when the camera panned back to the heiress, she was not smiling.

"Wow, why do I feel dirty?" Silverman said.

Then the focus finally turned to movies. MTV's irreverent mix of honors includes prizes for best kiss, best fight and best villain.

Nicholson made a rambling expletive filled speech accepting his best villain award for his work in "The Departed."

As the actor was about to begin his speech, an audience member yelled out "I love you Jack!"

"I don't give a [expletive]," he responded, "that's how a villain feels about it. But, sir I appreciate it. I love you to."

"Who I really want to thank is this: the American fighting men and women and our allies," Nicholson went on to say, before thanking his "The Departed" co-stars.

"Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" earned a best picture award and its star, Johnny Depp, won best performance.

The fight prize went to Gerard Butler, who battled "The Uber Immortal" in the epic "300." Will Ferrell and Sacha Baron Cohen won best kiss for their smooch in "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby." They shared a long, passionate kiss — culminating in a roll-around-on-the-floor makeout session — as they claimed their awards.

Cohen also won a Golden Popcorn for best comedic performance for his role in "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan."

"Unfortunately, Borat can't be here tonight," Cohen joked. "He's been feeling the pressures of fame and had to check himself into rehab."

The live program, held at the Gibson Amphitheater, was punctuated by a performance by Rihanna and Jay Z, who paired up on her new song "Umbrella" and soul singer Amy Winehouse who performed her timely "Rehab."

Will Smith's 9-year-old son, Jaden Smith, claimed the breakthrough performance prize for his role opposite his father in "The Pursuit of Happyness." He accepted his award by video from Toronto with his dad by his side and his mom behind the camera.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" beat out "Blades of Glory," "The Devil Wears Prada," "Little Miss Sunshine," and "Borat" for best movie.

Comedian Mike Myers won the special MTV Generation award for his work over the years. Backed by a group fo dancers, Myers entered the stage performing the groovy '60s choreography he made popular in his "Austin Powers" films.

"I want to thank my fans," Myers said. "Thank you very much for coming to my movies. You are my boss and I never forget that."

Product placement was everywhere at the awards, beginning with the pre-show. Cars from the upcoming film "Transformers" were on the red carpet, as were numerous interviews with the film's stars. The trailer and a behind-the-scenes segment on the making of the film were shown in between red carpet interviews with the films stars. Even the cars used in the film were on the red carpet.

During the show, a "dirty mouth" award was handed out in a segment hosted by the actress in the Orbit chewing gum ads.

Even Myers, while accepting his award, made fun of the commercialism by including a faux plug for Pontiac in his speech.
