The MTV Movie & TV Awards is a film and television awards show presented annually on MTV .[ 1] MTV Movie Awards in 1992, when its first edition was held, and adopted its current name in 2017, beginning with its 26th edition .[ 1] summer blockbuster season for the film industry , and since the launch of the television awards, the opening of that industry's awards season. The nominees are decided by producers and executives at MTV. The winners are then decided by the general public. Presently,[when? voting is done only through an official MTV Movie & TV Awards voting website.[ 2] Society Awards .[ 3]
Production process For much of its history, the ceremony was recorded for later broadcast, unlike the MTV Video Music Awards , which are usually live, but not live-to-tape, where the ceremony occurred in chronological order with appropriate edits. This meant that the ceremony was recorded out of order with the host segments recorded all at the start, followed by the musical performances and then award presentations, where those artists and actors nominated could choose to stay only for their award category and then depart after, with a seat filler filling their seat before or afterwards. After 2006, when Survivor Mark Burnett (who took over duties from Joel Gallen for the 2007 awards) took over production duties,[ 4] COVID-19 pandemic , the 2020 awards were cancelled.[ 5] awards season before the Golden Globe Awards .[ 6] Vanessa Hudgens -hosted clip show , MTV Movie & TV Awards: Greatest of All Time , on December 6, 2020, which featured highlights from past ceremonies and highlighted notable moments from film and television since the 1980s.[ 5] [ 5] 2021 MTV Movie & TV Awards would be held on May 16 and 17, 2021, with the first night focusing on films and scripted television, and a new, second night (MTV Movie & TV Awards: Unscripted ) focusing exclusively on awards in reality television .[ 7] [ 8] [ 9] Drew Barrymore , but Barrymore and other planned guests dropped out in solidarity with the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike . As a result, the in-person ceremony was cancelled and replaced by a pre-recorded virtual ceremony with no host.[ 10] [ 11] [ 12]

Film parodies Since 1993, scenes are spoofed, mostly from that year's most popular films, although television shows and older movies have also been chosen. This may include sound and video montages , replacing some of the original cast with other actors (commonly, the hosts of each year's show) generally mocking the scenes of that film. The diversity of the spoofs can vary greatly, from one dialogue (such as in 2005) to several long scenes, including fighting and action sequences (2003).
