2023 MTV Movie and TV Awards: Complete list of winners

The 2023 MTV Movie and TV Awards were presented on Sunday night, May 7, during a ceremony that had been scheduled to take place at the Barker Hangar in Los Angeles, California, before the Writers Guild of America strike forced the show to switch gears. But a modified ceremony still took place honoring the best achievements in media as voted on by fans online. Scroll down for the complete list of winners in all categories.

“The Last of Us” and “Stranger Things” were the top nominees going into this event with seven bids apiece. Both were nominated for Best Show, a category “Stranger Things” had won twice before. Rounding out the nominees in that top category were “The White Lotus,” “Wednesday,” “Wolf Pack,” “Yellowstone,” and “Yellowjackets.”

But of course the MTV Movie and TV Awards used to be just the MTV Movie Awards, so there are still categories strictly dedicated to the big screen. Nominated for best movie were “Avatar: The Way of Water,” “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” “Elvis,” “Nope,” “Scream VI,” “Smile,” and “Top Gun: Maverick.”

Drew Barrymore was originally set to host the ceremony, but she and others dropped out in solidarity with the striking WGA writers. MTV executive producer Bruce Gillmer ultimately explained in a statement, “We’re pivoting away from a live event that still enables us to produce a memorable night full of exclusive sneak peaks, irreverent categories our audience has come to expect, and countless moments that will both surprise and delight.” So how did the awards go under these unusual circumstances, and who claimed the Golden Popcorn? Find out below.
