Posted by chrisd on from the spoilers-not-found-just-in-my-articles dept.

abouttime writes "What happens when your webmasters and the show scheduling people don't communicate? This page on the mtv site is where the winners of the awards are known before the show even airs tonight... Way to go MTV....." I wonder if it will be pulled by the time the story goes up....oh and in case you can't figure it out, spoiler alert...

    Can someone explain the Lone Gunman reference?

    Were the results really supposed to be secret until the broadcast?

    If so, then how would one explain this story, from June 2

    Cheers

    Actually, the award results were widely reported several days ago, for example see SFGate.com which mirrored the Associated Press feed.

    MTV themselves provided the information to the AP, so this is hardly a slip up. They clearly want the results known several days ahead of the air date. My guess is they figure this is good publicity to draw people in to watch the show.
