The MTV Movie Awards' 11 Most Memorable Best Kiss Moments, Ranked

Fire up those VCRs, rewind your VHS tape and make sure you're not recording over anything important like the birth of a sibling because the 2015 MTV Movie Awards are this Sunday! And then get back in your TARDIS because you're using a VCR so that means you're probably back in the '90s, which means you're on another adventure with the Doctor.

One of the highlights of the MTV Movie Awards year in and year out is the Best Kiss category. It's always one of the most memorable moments of the evening, and this year we bet Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort take home the popcorn tub for The Fault in Our Stars. But will their acceptance speech join the ranks with these 11 legendary Best Kiss moments? Check out our favorites from the past 23(!) years, ranked for your pleasure:

11. Briana Evigan and Robert Hoffman, Step Up 2 (2008)

This moment was equal parts cute and uncomfortable as these two, who were real-life lovers when they accepted the award, clearly were seconds away from ripping each other's clothes off and going at it right onstage. Someone hose 'em down!

10. Jim Carrey and Lauren Holly, Dumb and Dumber (1995)

We were expecting Jim to be silly about the whole thing, but because he would later go on to marry this woman, Carrey instead went the romantic route, calling her the sweetest woman on the globe and that he would "slay any dragon to win her favor."

9.  Will Ferrell and Sasha Baron Cohen, Talladega Nights (2007)

These guys had more chemistry during their makeout/acceptance speech than Joey and Rachel had on Friends when they were dating. Yeah, we said it.

8. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, Twilight: New Moon (2010)

Robsten, may they rest in peace, won this category four years in a row at the MTV Movie Awards. This was the second time they won, and after Kristen pushed Rob's head away, the two finally gave the fans what they really wanted and kissed. And by "kissed," we mean they awkwardly bumped faces for a split second.

7. Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger, Brokeback Mountain (2006)

Jake accepted the award for their movie kiss on the guys' behalf, calling it at an "honor" and "a big deal" to be chosen as the winner. "Thank you, not just from me but from all those struggling with love, "he said. "Which is all of us." Fast forward to 1:00 to watch Jake's sweet speech.

6. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, Twilight: Breaking Dawn, Part 1 (2012)

This was weeks before the Kristen Stewart cheating scandal would rock the entertainment world, so this could have been our last time seeing Robsten happily together at an award show. But Rob wasn't there, so it ended up just being Kristen, making out with herself. Get it, girl. You don't need a man to get some love!

5. Will Poulter, Emma Roberts and Jennifer Aniston, We're the Millers (2014)

His whole acceptance speech was a bit about how he dated both Jennifer Aniston and Emma Roberts at the same time, and it was amazing. Plus hotties Dave Franco and Zac Efron were both directly behind him so the whole scene was just magical.

4. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, Twilight: Eclipse (2011)

Twilight fan-fiction writers everywhere crapped their pants watching Rob run out into the audience to lay a big one on Taylor Lautner. After winning the award for the third time, we're glad Robsten mixed it up.

3. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, Twilight (2009)

The first time these two won was the best time because not only did Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock fangirl out while giving them the award, but they clearly had so much fun riling up the crowed with their little almost-kissing bit. Those li'l scamps.

2. Sarah Michelle Gellar and Selma Blair, Cruel Intentions (2000)

This was the first time a same-sex duo won this award, and they could have just thanked the fans and left the stage, but they gave us what we wanted and smooched, setting a standard for all Best Kiss winners thereafter.

1. Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams, The Notebook (2005)

Drake Has His Own Search Engine Now and It's the Best We Ever Had

Google searches just went from zero to 100...real quick.

A new website appeared on the Internet called Let Me Drake That For You and it's just as good as it sounds: All Drizzy all the time. Basically it's a knock-off Google that produces only Drake-related results. Or as the site's description reads, it's "like Google, on fleek."

If you've got a spare five hours or so, there's nothing more fun than gathering your woes and going down the Drake rabbit hole. On a Tuesday, of course.

You can literally search anything to see how it relates to Drake. Type in "lint roller"...get pictures of the Toronto Raptors' Drake-branded lint rollers. Type in "sandwich" and you get throwback videos of that one time Drake didn't get the lunch he wanted. Type in "woes"...get this. Let Me Drake That For You even provides you with Drizzy-themed background music while the search results generate.

And possibly the best part of the whole thing is the "I'm Feelin Drizzy" button. It's a play on Google's I'm Feeling Lucky option, and every time you click you're treated to an amazing Drake-related GIF.

Google: It started from the bottom...now it's Drake.

Everything You Need to Know About Game of Thrones' "Shocking" Season 5--With Scoop From the Cast!

It's been a long, cold winter as we've waited for the real winter to come...Game of Thrones' winter, that is! It's been one full year since we've journeyed to the land of Westeros for new episodes of HBO's hit fantasy drama and now, our wait is finally over, as season five premieres this Sunday.

This is the season we've all been waiting for, book enthusiasts and non-book readers alike, as the show has caught up to where George R. R. Martin's novels have stopped, and it's become a fact that this season is going to feature stories that haven't been in the books...yet. No one truly knows what's going to happen (besides Martin and the showrunners, of course), so for the first time since this show premiered, we're all in this together!

That's why E! News rounded up the cast at the Game of Thrones season five red carpet premiere in San Francisco to see what they could reveal about what's coming up this season.

The mastermind behind all of Game of Thrones, Martin, promises that there are going to be some major surprises for book readers...including the fates of some characters who everyone thinks are safe.

"Yes, there will be [surprises]," Martin tells E! News. "[Executive producers] David [Benioff] and Dan [D. B. Weiss] are bloodier than I am so no one is safe here. Even characters who are still alive in the books will die in the series. What can you do? Hold on to your seats and hope it's not your favorite character who winds up beheaded or disemboweled or poisoned."

Press play on the video below to see what Kit Harington revealed about Jon Snow's season five journey:

Benioff and Weiss can't wait for this season to premiere, because some characters will finally get to reunite.

"We've been looking forward to this season for a long time because for so long, the worlds of the show have been separate. There's the east and the west and they've never come together, and finally, this season, west meets east," Weiss says. "Without spoilers, the end of season four saw a couple of major characters sailing east. It's just so fun for us to write for these characters that we know and we love so well at this point when they start to encounter other characters that we know and we love so well that they haven't met before. That's one of the really exciting things to see for season five."

Because of the upcoming reunions and deviations from the books, Benioff is excited to see what viewers think of season five.

"It should be the most surprising season so far if we didn't screw it up, which is definitely possible," Benioff says with a laugh. "We'll find out in about two months!"

Press play on the video below to see what Emilia Clarke teased about what's coming up for Daenerys:

One of the biggest changes in season five is all thanks to Tyrion (Peter Dinklage), as he just murdered his father and escaped King's Landing with Varys (Conleth Hill).

"I killed our father, so that's definitely going to put a damper on things," Dinklage says of how his brother Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) feels about what he did. "He definitely didn't release me to do that, so that's a bit of a shocker, I'm sure."

And even though Tyrion made it out of King's Landing without getting caught, there will be major ramifications from Cersei (Lena Headey) for murdering their father.

"They want my head," Dinklage says. "I'm a wanted man. My strategy? Go far away and make new friends." (Certain dragon-motherin' new friends.)

Dinklage revealed he's happy that he got to work with new cast members this season, meaning Tyrion is about to meet some characters he's never been in scenes with before!

"It's incredible," Dinklage says. "I got to work with some new people this season that I've only met at these events and it's just lovely to share the screen with them at last."

Press play on the video below to see what Coster-Waldau had to say about Jaime's journey this season:

As for Tyrion's traveling partner Varys, Hill teased that the quiet schemer has big plans ahead of
