MTV handed out their Movies and Television Awards on Sunday night (May 16.) To All The Boys; Always and Forever took Best Movie and WandaVision won Best Show.
In all, WandaVision won 4 out of 5 nominations, including Best Fight scene, as well as Best Performance in a Show, which went to Elizabeth Olsen. And Best Villain was awarded to Kathryn Hahn.
Best Movie Performance went to Chadwick Boseman, who passed away last August.
The event rallied around host, Leslie Jones who appeared in several skits through-out the two-hour program. In a format that was similar to the Oscars in years past, Jones would pop up in movie footage and change the course of the script. She also won Best Comedic Performance for her role in Coming 2 America.
Scarlett Johansson was honored with the Generation Award for her many roles, including in the upcoming film, Black Widow. Sacha Baron Cohen was presented with the Comedic Genius Award, which several of his most iconic characters accepted on his behalf.
The show aired live from the Palladium in Los Angeles and for the first time ever, The MTV Movie and TV Awards will include a second night of celebration. Part 2 will feature unscripted programs, such as reality TV and airs tonight (May 17.)
