MTV Movie & TV Awards
MTV

After taping Saturday night in Santa Monica, The MTV Movie & TV Awards broadcast aired Monday night, with Zachary Levi taking the reins as host for the network’s annual tribute to all things pop culture. With film and TV stars in contention for fan-chosen awards, everything from popcorn blockbusters and reality television to Oscar-nominated documentaries has a place at this show. Nomination leaders included some usual suspects – “Avengers: Endgame” and “Game of Thrones” – as well as a wildcard hit, “RBG.”

In addition to the classic movie and television trophies, this year sees some new categories, including Reality Royalty, Most Meme-able Moment, and Best Real-Life Hero. Levi himself is also up for two Golden Popcorn trophies, as his “Shazam!” performance was nominated for Best Hero and Best Comedic Performance. Jada Pinkett Smith is receiving the annual Trailblazer Award, presented to her by Tiffany Haddish and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson received the Generation Award.

The telecast features musical performances from Lizzo and Bazzi, and presenters include Aubrey Plaza, Dave Bautista, and Kumail Nanjiani. The show, formerly known as the MTV Movie Awards, continues to evolve each year. In addition to incorporating television, MTV is unveiling more alternative coverage, including multiple livestreams of the show and online tie-in content.
