Given that we are MTV News, and the Movie Awards is one of our biggest events of the year, our intrepid team of writers, reporters and producers enjoy what is, hands down, the best behind-the-scenes access to any and everything that happens before, after and during the live broadcast. With that, we narrowed down a pretty impressive list of can't-believe-it-happened-off-camera moments for you.

(Not all moments happen off-camera, though. Be sure to get an eyeful of our backstage moments photo gallery.)

In no particular order, the top five "events" we witnessed backstage as we live-blogged the 2011 Movie Awards:

Dave Grohl Hijacks Our Best Villain Interview
Minutes after accepting his second Movie Award for Best Villain, MTV News was chatting up "Harry Potter" star Tom Felton about the win, where he'll keep his award, and so forth. Foo Fighters frontman Grohl suddenly jumped into the frame and asked what we were talking about. He went on to congratulate Felton on his win with a friendly hug. Grohl ended the brief encounter by extending an invite to a visibly star-struck Felton to join him for some post-show Absinthe.

Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart Chest-Bump
We love it when the stars of our favorite films seem to be genuinely good friends both on and offscreen — especially when those real-life pals are two of our favorite "Twilight" actors, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner. In between accepting and presenting awards, we watched Stewart and Lautner greet each other backstage with an actual chest bump, which they followed up with a friendly hug.

Emma Watson Gets McDreamy'd
In spite of the fact that stylish Emma Watson always looks so composed, not even the "Harry Potter" star could resist the dashing good looks of "Grey's Anatomy" hottie Patrick Dempsey, a.k.a. McDreamy. We witnessed Watson and the "Transformers: Rise of the Fallen" actor passing each other with a smile and a nod. But once Dempsey was out of earshot, Watson turned to her rep, put her hand over her heart and sighed at his dreaminess.

"Chocolate Wasted" With Alexys Nycole Sanchez
For its sheer adorableness, this moment might be the lead contender for the best thing we witnessed backstage. Moments after "Grown Ups" starlet Alexys Nycole Sanchez nabbed her first Golden Popcorn trophy for her "I want to get chocolate wasted!" line, our MTV News team caught up with the pre-tween to get her reaction. Really, she was too cute for words. And You can see the delight in our faces in the photo posted on our Movies Blog as we had to kneel to speak with Sanchez.

OMG, Celebs Are Totally BFF
Not all of the celebs in Hollywood are BFF à la Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, but because the rich and famous run in similar social circles, many are quite friendly with other. Often these celebrity friendships have sprung up unexpectedly. Case in point, all the palling around we saw backstage. First, Ryan Gosling and Tyrese hugging hello; Kristen Stewart and Lily Collins chatting about KStew's dog; and pretty, leggy blondes Blake Lively and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley giggling like schoolgirls during a marathon catch-up session.

MTV News has all of the highlights from the 2011 MTV Movie Awards. Relive the best moments, watch red-carpet interviews with your favorite stars and read all about what went on behind the scenes on the big night.
