Jennifer Aniston was rewarded for being bad at the MTV Movie Awards.

The actress picked up the best on-screen dirtbag award for her role as a man-eating dentist in 'Horrible Bosses' at the beginning of Sunday's MTV Movie Awards.

"I would like to say thank you to the television show 'Friends' for letting me unleash my inner-sweetheart, and here's to (Horrible Bosses director) Seth Gordon for letting me be a dirtbag," Aniston said.

She beat co-star Colin Farrell, nominated for his turn as the psychologically unstable Bobby Pellitt.

The live, fan-favourite ceremony was hosted by bawdy actor-comedian Russell Brand. He opened the show by poking fun of Michael Fassbender's full frontal endowment in 'Shame' and Kim Kardashian's short-lived marriage, which he acknowledged was hypocritical.

Russell Brand filed for divorce last year from pop superstar Katy Perry after 14 months of marriage. Perry performed at the Brand-hosted MTV Video Music Awards in 2009.

"Tonight, I'm gonna keep my eyes peeled for my next wife," joked Brand. "Fasssssbender!"
