The Cast Of Laguna Beach At Past MTV Movie Awards

by Julia Musto

Because this year's MTV Movie Awards is right around the corner, it's only appropriate that we examine our favorite memories and red carpet looks of past awards shows in homage. As a California girl, I would be amiss if I didn't remind you of one of my favorite TV shows. Looking back at the cast of Laguna Beach at the MTV Movie Awards will make you feel so, so, old, and very nostalgic. Especially if you were really a The Hills fan and totally just jumped on the bandwagon with Laguna Beach star Lauren "LC" Conrad (guilty).

It has been over a decade since MTV debuted the show in 2004. It completed three seasons and the show then ended in November of 2006. The cast of characters changed frequently depending on the students at Laguna Beach High School, and the show is heralded as one of the first really successful reality TV shows.

Although The LC originally narrated the show in the first season, she was replaced by Kristin Cavallari in the second post-graduation. The third season was all newbies as well, with Laguna Beach friendly names like Kelan, Lexie, Breanna, and Kyndra.

That all seems like a lifetime away in comparison to the Keeping Up With the Kardashians franchise today, but it's an important part of television and MTV history. Additionally, the Laguna Beach spin-off The Hills allowed hottie Stephen Coletti to appear on 57 episodes of One Tree Hill , according to IMDB, so I was pretty darn pleased about that trade-off.

However, it has been a while since we've see the cast of Laguna Beach in full or at an awards show. So, without further ado, here's a flashback to MTV Movie Awards past!

Here's Conrade is slaying sans cast at the 2007 MTV Movie Awards in a white strapless dress that honestly would be pretty cute even now. The Laguna Beach tan certainly doesn't hurt her either.

2. Stephen Colletti

Here's actual babe Stephen Coletti at the same red carpet. Remember how Taylor Swift used him in the White Horse music video because he's supposed to look like someone who could never hurt you? And then, remember the triangle between LC and Kristin Cavallari? Yeah, I bet you're rethinking your entire crush.

Lo Bosworth's friendship with LC was the best. Also, her facial expressions were amazing. This is her at the 2004 MTV Movie Awards look from when the show first started, although she had only appeared a few times (she really shined on The Hills).

Here are Jason and The LC at the 2006 MTV Movie Awards. After losing Lauren, a lot of bad things started happening to Jason. Like, a lot of bad things including jail time for assault.

5. The Hills Add-Ons

Here is the future The Hills cast girls – including Heidi Montag, Audrina Patridge, and Whitney Port – posing at the 2006 MTV Movie Awards blue carpet. Little did they know what the future would hold for them.

All other Laguna Beach cast members, including Kristin Cavallari, Trey Phillips, Talan Torriero, Christina Schuller, Taylor Cole, Alex Murrel, Alex Hooser, and Jessica Smith, appear to never have shown up for the MTV Movie Awards.

Allegations about Laguna Beach story lines being scripted aside, there is no denying that this show was ahead of its time; it totally revolutionized the scandalous genre of reality television. There is also absolutely no denying that I still get in fights over being "Team Kristin" or "Team LC" with random people I meet to this day.
