MTV Awards uncut, live on the Net

NEW YORK - MTV has managed to find entertainment in Ozzy Osbourne taking out the trash and

Mariah Carey touring her house. On Thursday night, they hoped to squeeze a few more drops out of celebrity navel gazing.

On a simultaneous online broadcast, MTV offered viewers not just a peak backstage at the Video Music Awards, but real-time behind-the-scenes access.

With more than 30 cameras, MTV's Overdrive Web site boasted an "uncensored" look at performers, presenters and stars as they made their way to the stage, exited with moonmen awards or powdered their noses in makeup rooms.
