2010 SmashTV Awards

The 2010 SmashTV Awards aired live on MTV on March 5 2010 at the Amway Arena in Orlando, Florida. Kevin James hosted the ceremony. It would be the final ceremony to take place at the Amway Arena before the opening of the Amway Center in 2010, which would be the future place for SmashTV Awards ceremonies starting in 2011. The ceremony was also noted for a suicide bombing that destroyed the Amway Arena and abruptly ended the show.

PERFORMANCES
The following performances were scheduled before the bombing happened:

Orlando Suicide Bombing
At around 8:03 PM EST during The Black Eyed Peas's performance, six unidentified men in white trucks drove through the entrances of the Amway Arena. All 6 trucks were known to be carrying bombs, and they exploded upon impact, killing and injuring multiple attendees and causing major damage to the arena. The feed abruptly cut off seconds after the explosions and the show ended immediately as panic filled the arena. Guests and attendees were safely evacuated before the Amway Arena collapsed at around 9:01 PM EST. In the immediate aftermath of the bombing, MTV aired a rerun of Jersey Shore before MTV News took over to report on the attacks.

The awards ceremony was cancelled due to the bombing, and the following day, the winners were announced online.

According to an autopsy, the 6 suspects were diehard SmashTV fans that were denied entry to the previous 3 years' ceremonies due to obsessive behavior.

In the aftermath of the attacks, The Academy announced that the 82nd Academy Awards, which were originally scheduled to air on March 7th, have been postponed to March 14th. When the ceremony aired on that day, increased security was seen present at the event, both at the red carpet and around/inside the Kodak Theatre. The 30th Golden Raspberry Awards, originally set to take place on March 6th, were also postponed to March 13th. Increased security was also present at the ceremony.

Disney, Universal, and SeaWorld closed their Orlando theme parks for the rest of the weekend to pay tribute to the victims, but the hotels and shopping centers remained open. The parks reopened on March 8th with increased security present at each park. MegaCon, an anime convention in Orlando's Orange County Convention Center, postponed their 2010 convention from March 12th - 14th to May 7th - 9th. Increased security was present at the convention.

Because of the arena's destruction, all events that were scheduled for the Amway Arena after March 5th were either cancelled and/or postponed until further notice, or moved to different locations.
