Reese Witherspoon will be attending the 2011 MTV Movie Awards this year. She is the winner of the MTV Generation Award for her past work in the last few years. She rose to fame with hit movies like “Walk The Line” and “Legally Blonde“.

Here is what MTV had to say in regards of Reese and her amazing career.

Reese Witherspoon is one of the most versatile and accomplished performers of her time…
Our viewers admire her for taking risks and for the breathtaking range of her roles. She fearlessly moves between dramas and comedies and always leaves everyone guessing what she’ll do next. We are thrilled to honor Reese with this year’s MTV Generation Award

Past winners include Tom Cruise and Sandra Bullock.

I am happy to see that Reese is being honored for get great work. She is one of the best actresses by far now, and while this award if no Oscar it is still a nice thing to win. But I should also say that she has won an Oscar before, so this award is marginally small compared to the Oscar.
