"Ben Stiller has been named as the recipient of this year&amp;#039;s MTV Movies Generation Award, reports People.  The Night At The Museum 2 star will receive the honour, presented by Zac Efron, in recognition of his body of work as an actor, producer, director and writer at the ceremony in Los Angeles on May 31. &amp;quot;Ben is a comedic chameleon, able to make the leap between drama and full-out comedy while maintaining his own unique brand of subversive humour,&amp;quot; said Van Toffler, President of MTV Networks Music/Logo/Film Group. &amp;quot;Whether it\u00E2\u20AC\u2122s fighting a monkey in a museum or licking a decapitated head, nothing is ever off-limits for him and that\u00E2\u20AC\u2122s the type of warped creative vision and commitment MTV loves to reward.&amp;quot; In a statement, Stiller said that he was &amp;quot;honoured&amp;quot; to be receiving the award, adding: &amp;quot;I was given my first show at MTV and also cancelled for the first time. I also was secretly having an affair with [MTV VJ] J.J. Jackson, so it brings back pleasant memories.&amp;quot; Previous recipients of the honour include Adam Sandler, Mike Myers, Jim Carrey and Tom Cruise. &amp;gt; Click here for a full list of the nominees for the MTV Movie Awards 2009 "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
