Twitterers suspicions were confirmed today when Scott Aukerman revealed in his blog that the Bruno-Eminem altercation during the MTV Movie Awards was indeed staged.  Aukerman, the head comedy writer for the MTV Movie Awards, recently removed the blog post after media outlets started reporting on it.

“Yes, the Eminem-Bruno incident was staged,” Aukerman had written.  “They rehearsed it at dress [rehearsal] and yes, it went as far as it did on the live show.”

According to TVGuide.com, the speakers that Bruno ran into during his entrance were there on purpose during the previous commercial break and there was a camera on Eminem to see his reaction even  before Bruno was lowered onto the rapper.

While the confirmation is less than shocking, tweeters still shared their likes and dislikes about the setup:
