MTV U Woodie Award Winners 2009

On Friday evening, December 4th 2009, MTV aired their annual MTV U Woodie Awards in New York City’s Roseland Ballroom.  Best Video Woodie of the year winner’s Matt & Kim rolled into the ballroom with a bicycle clan to sound off hit song of 09 “Daylight”. Mid-performance part of the clan took off their shirts and shorts into boy undies, bra’s or boxers to kick off the show.

Winners of MTV U Woodie Awards

Woodie of the year – Kings of Leon

Don’t we all need somebody? Apparently we need Kings of Leon who took home biggest award of the night, Woodie of the Year 2009.

Best Video Woodie – Matt & Kim “Lessons Learned”

We first caught onto Matt & Kim during their Jimmy Kimmel performance in August with infectious hit song “Daylight” from their second album Grand. San Diego watched them make a bang at Street Scene and even a stellar yet intimate performance at 710 Beach Club just a few weeks ago.

Breaking Woodie – Never Shout Never

Left Field Woodie – Tech N9ne

America’s leading independent artist Tech N9ne is doing it once again winning the left field Woodie! The Entertainer got a chance to speak with the unstoppable and bizarre function of flow Tech N9ne before K.O.D. was released in October.

Performing Woodie – Green Day

Green Day couldn’t make it to the MTV U Awards, but we got a great acceptance video out of the boys, filled with “woodie” jokes and simulations. Nothing new from the oh-so-controversial, punk attitude rockers.

Good Woodie – Jamie Tworkowski

To mention the akward situation of the year would be silly. But we’ll just say that this MTV awards show didn’t involve any arrogant bastards stealing the limelight from teenage country singers.

Characteristic, different, unique and progressive the MTV U Woodie Awards 2009 brought Generation Y the organic hipster, hip hopper and rockers that they were looking for. Can’t wait for next year’s collegiate favorites!

Woodie of the Year nominee’s Asher Roth’s anthem song “I Love College”, oh boy I love college:
