The first details of MTV’s annual localised awards night have been revealed for 2008, although not without the requisite format updates. The awards initially launched down under back in 2005 at the Luna Park Big Top, hosted by the Osbourne family and featuring Anna-Nicole Smith’s infamous (and, err, totally spontaneous) boob-flash.
Since shifting to the Superdome/Acer Arena two years back, the awards have continued to grow in size. It seems that’s all about to change this year, though, with the ceremony being moved to Australian Technology Park in the inner-city Sydney suburb of Redfern. The venue, which is significantly smaller in capacity than Acer Arena, is used for the filming of TV shows like Australia’s Next Top Model and So You Think You Can Dance.
So far Hollywood-starlet-gone-rock-chick Juliette Lewis and her band The Licks have been announced to perform, as well as hip-hop/urban mega-stars Eve and 50 Cent. It’s also rumoured that the Foo Fights will make a cameo, with the band in the country on tour at the time of the event. Other celebs doing the rounds as possibilities to feature include Lindsay Lohan, Mischa Barton and Paris Hilton.
