The MTV Movie & TV Awards, which once promised to be an "epic night," aired as a pre-taped ceremony on Sunday night without host Drew Barrymore, who pulled out of the event last week due to the ongoing WGA writers' strike.

The decision to air a pre-taped ceremony came after the WGA announced its intentions to picket at the event, which had been set to take place at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica.

“As we carefully navigate how best to deliver the fan first awards’ show we envisioned that our team has worked so hard to create, we’re pivoting away from a live event that still enables us to produce a memorable night full of exclusive sneak peeks, irreverent categories our audience has come to expect and countless moments that will both surprise and delight as we honor the best of film and TV over the past year,” Bruce Gillmer, executive producer of the MTV Movie & TV Awards, said in a statement.

Here's who took home Golden Popcorn awards.

Who was honored with the Comedic Genius Award?

Jennifer Coolidge

After two decades as a Hollywood mainstay, “Stifler's mom” from the 1999 comedy classic American Pie, has finally started earning the acclaim she deserves. Her portrayal of the wealthy, unstable and oblivious fan favorite character “Tanya McQuoid” in HBO’s The White Lotus has earned her a Golden Globe, Emmy, SAG Award and two Critics' Choice Awards—in the last year alone!

And now she has a Golden Popcorn to add to her arsenal. "Almost all great comedy starts with great writers," Coolidge said in her pre-taped acceptance speech. The comment was a show of solidarity with the WGA members who are currently on strike.

Who hosted the MTV Movie & TV Awards 2023?

Actress and talk show host Drew Barrymore had been tapped to serve as the 2023 host, but she backed out in solidarity with the WGA.

“I have listened to the writers, and in order to truly respect them, I will pivot from hosting the MTV Movie & TV Awards live in solidarity with the strike,” Barrymore said in a statement. “Everything we celebrate and honor about movies and television is born out of their creation. And until a solution is reached, I am choosing to wait, but I’ll be watching from home and hope you will join me."

"What THESE OLD THINGS?" she wrote, referencing some of her past red carpet pics. "I was GOING to wear something like THESE to THIS YEAR'S MTV movie awards but I'm not gonna be able to go and present because the @wgawest needs and deserves my support and I won't cross their picket line."
