Empowerment rules at MTV awards, with win for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg


The Marvel movie, the second biggest box office hit of all time, took wins for best movie, villain (Josh Brolin's Thanos) and hero (Robert Downey Jr's Iron Man.) But US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the diminutive, 86-year-old liberal judge, was voted best real-life hero, cementing her status as an unexpected pop culture icon, especially among women. The MTV Movie and TV awards usually focus on crowd-pleasers and are an irreverent antidote to the more serious winter Hollywood awards season. But while medieval fantasy "Game of Thrones" was named best TV show on Monday, other awards went to darker fare. Johnson told the audience that when he first came to Hollywood some 15 years ago, the entertainment industry didn't know how to handle a 6-foot-4-inch, muscled, half black, half Samoan man, "so I decided I wasn't going to conform to Hollywood, Hollywood was going to conform to me".
