The MTV Movie & TV Awards is an annual celebration of the best in film and television. First held in 1992 as the MTV Movie Awards, the event has since evolved to include television categories as well. The show is known for its irreverent humour, unique categories, and focus on fan involvement.

One of the key aspects of the MTV Movie & TV Awards is the emphasis on fan participation. Unlike other awards shows, the winners are chosen by fans through online voting. This gives viewers a sense of ownership and investment in the event, as they are able to have a direct impact on who is recognized for their achievements.
The awards show features a wide range of categories, including Best Movie, Best Performance in a Movie or TV Show, Best Kiss, and Best Villain, among others. These categories are often unconventional and playful, with nominees and winners ranging from mainstream blockbusters to niche favourites.

In addition to the awards ceremony, the MTV Movie & TV Awards features musical performances and comedic skits. These segments help to keep the show entertaining and engaging, even for viewers who may not be as invested in the awards themselves.
Another unique category of the MTV Movie & TV Awards is Best Fight. This category recognizes the most exciting and memorable fight scenes from movies and television shows. From epic battles in superhero films to dramatic showdowns in dramas, this category highlights the best of on-screen action.

Over the years, the MTV Movie & TV Awards has also become known for its social commentary and inclusivity. In 2017, the show removed gendered categories, such as Best Actor and Best Actress, in favour of gender-neutral categories. This decision was made in recognition of the evolving landscape of gender identity and expression, and was met with widespread support from fans and industry professionals.

The MTV Movie & TV Awards has also been a platform for important cultural conversations. In 2018, actor and activist Chadwick Boseman won the Best Hero award for his role in Black Panther. In his acceptance speech, he emphasised the importance of representation and the impact that Black Panther had on audiences around the world. This moment highlighted the power of the media to shape perceptions and bring about social change.
