Hosts Tim Kash and Kim Stolz will be checking out and chatting with all of the night’s biggest honorees, nominees, performers, and presenters live from the 24-carat gold hued carpet in honor of the Movie Awards’ trademark golden popcorn award. And Project Runway season 4 winner Christian Siriano will be on hand as this year’s fashion correspondent for the MTV.com fashion show.

Kim will also be roaming the carpet – greeting stars as they arrive, snagging people alongside paparazzi, and hanging out with the frenzied fans. And design darling Christian Siriano (Project Runway season 4 winner) will serve up his fierce commentary as he hosts the “Red Carpet Report with Christian Siriano.”, providing in-depth interviews with the hottest celebs on the red carpet, including ones you won’t see in the on-air pre-show.
