Here are the winners from the 2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards
With celebrities refusing to cross the picket line, the MTV Movie & TV Awards 2023 is now a pre-recorded show, but there was still plenty of popcorn to hand out
The MTV Movie & TV Awards are always a bit awkward. Filling the void between last year’s award season and this year’s, the show often rewards movies that feel ineligible for awards this late into 2023 and others that feel a little too new to be eligible. Of course, it’s also one of the few awards shows that normal people can vote for, so it gets a little more leeway.
This year, however, it had an even more difficult challenge. Due to the ongoing writers’ strike, anyone who’s anyone won’t didn’t appearing at the show live. The show pivoted from a live show, boasting host Drew Barrymore who dropped out of the show last week in solidarity with the striking writers, to a clip show of previous ceremonies and pre-recorded bits that still boast Barrymore as host. Also, Tom Cruise sent in a video from the cockpit of a plane that he was flying.
But that doesn’t mean there weren’t winners. You can do your part, too, by not being at the MTV Movie & TV Awards, and reading about the winners right here.
