At least she did on Saturday, when she parodied the three blockbusters as the host of the 2006 MTV Movie Awards, known for taking a lighthearted look at the industry it honors.
This is the awards show where a teen-is-king attitude reigns, where stars step out in jeans and use the f-word in acceptance speeches and awards are based on fan votes.
"It's not even like an awards show," said actor Zach Braff. "It feels like a birthday party."
Last summer's "Wedding Crashers" was the night's big winner, collecting three trophies, including the coveted Golden Popcorn for best movie.
The film also earned breakthrough performance honors for Isla Fisher and best on-screen team award for Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson.
Watch the show at 8:30 p.m. on Thursday on MTV to find out who won best screen kiss, best performance, best fight, best hero and a bunch of other unconventional categories, plus a performance by Gnarls Barkley.
