The Avengers assembled Sunday night in Los Angeles, with the hit comic-book movie taking home three golden popcorn trophies at the MTV Movie Awards.
The blockbuster hit based on Marvel Comics superheroes won the best fight award, and Tom Hiddleston, who played evil Loki in that film, won for best villain. But there was an even bigger award ahead, as "The Avengers" won the show's final honor, best movie, an honor presented by Brad Pitt.
Bradley Cooper claimed two honors, winning for best male performance for "Silver Linings Playbook" and sharing the best kiss award with Jennifer Lawrence.

"No way that this movie would've had a life without the fans," Cooper said in his best kiss acceptance speech. Lawrence was not in attendance, but Cooper praised her as "great to kiss."
When it came to an award that only MTV could give -- Best WTF Moment -- Samuel L. Jackson and Jamie Foxx won for a violent Southern plantation shoot-em-up scene from Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained."
Emma Watson was awarded the MTV Trailblazer Award, which is given to a young actor who has inspired others even at an early age. Watson, 23, is best known for her role as Harry Potter's brainy pal Hermione, but has also acted in "My Week With Marilyn" and "The Perks of Being a Wallflower."
Watson joked that when she looked back on her career, she remembered many things, "notably how bad my hair was in the first Harry Potter film."
Will Ferrell won the comedic genius award, and accepted it while wearing sunglasses and a suit that looked as if it was made out of $100 bills.
Taylor Lautner won the best shirtless performance award for his role as hunky shape-shifting wolf Jacob Black in "Breaking Dawn Part 2." Onstage, Lautner hid his much-vaunted figure with a fake fat suit, and joked, "for us shirtless actors out there, this is like the Oscar."
Seth Rogen, Danny McBride and and Zac Efron presented Lautner's award and decided to stage their own "bottomless" contest, with Rogen revealing a forest of fake hair and McBride displaying a giant chastity belt.
Jamie Foxx won the MTV Generation award, the night's highest honor. Tom Cruise, Reese Witherspoon, Sandra Bullock and Johnny Depp are among those who've won the award in the past.
Australian actress Rebel Wilson hosted the show and wasn't afraid to joke about everything from North Korea to a stuffed koala bear she claimed was named "Chlamydia." She also won the breakthrough performance award for her role in "Pitch Perfect," which also won for best musical moment.
Also during the show, Liam Hemsworth presented a short teaser from "Catching Fire," the second film in the "Hunger Games" movie series. Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson and Jennifer Lawrence star in the much-awaited movie, which comes to theaters in November.
