The MTV Movie Awards [1]' best kiss honor has been awarded to film couples since 1992, and it has to be our favorite award at the show (OK, maybe aside from best shirtless [2] moment). Whether it's Kristen Stewart [3] and Robert Pattinson [4]'s will-they-or-won't-they or the full-on passion between Ryan Gosling [5] and Rachel McAdams [6], celebrities have accepted their steamy honor in some pretty memorable ways, and it's always one of the most entertaining award-show moments. Before the 21st annual MTV Movie Awards air this weekend, take a trip down memory lane with the best PDA moments from best kiss award winners.
