EW's Mandi Bierly righty slugged the Eminem-Bruno encounter at the MTV Movie Awards last night the "Best WTF? Moment" in her rundown of the best and worst moments of the show.

For sure, MTV goes for major shock value on all its awards shows. Remember all those out-of-control moments on the Video Music Awards through the years? But I'd go as far as saying that last night's surprise Bruno-thong-in-Eminem's-face was almost as memorable as the infamous time Britney Spears trainwrecked her way through "Gimme More" at the 2007 VMAs.
