Film and television awards show
TheMTV Movie & TV Awards is a film and television awards show previously presented annually onMTV .[ 1] MTV Movie Awards in 1992, when itsfirst edition was held, and adopted its current name in 2017, beginning with its26th edition .[ 1]
The awards ceremony has traditionally been tied to the start of thesummer blockbuster season for thefilm 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]
The2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards were the most recent as the event was not held in 2024 or 2025.
For much of its history, the ceremony was recorded for later broadcast, unlike theMTV 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 aseat filler filling their seat before or afterwards. After 2006, whenSurvivor Mark Burnett (who took over duties from Joel Gallen for the 2007 awards) took over production duties,[ 4]
Since 2007, polls for several awards have been voted on through MTV's web and social media presences.

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 videomontages , 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).
