MTV Movie & TV Awards: Scream VI, The Last of Us take home Golden Popcorn in star-studded ceremony. Full winners lis

The 2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards were held on Sunday night, with Scream VI and The Last of Us being the big winners of the night. Scream VI was named best movie, and also won the award for best fight. Courteney Cox, who played Gale Weathers, and the killer Ghostface received the award via pre-taped video.

The Last of Us took home three awards, including the top prize for best show. Star Pedro Pascal won best hero, while he and Bella Ramsey were awarded best duo. Stranger Things won two awards.

Due to the ongoing writers strike, the show was pre-taped, with Drew Barrymore, who was supposed to host, dropping out in solidarity with the striking writers. However, she did make an appearance in the opening segment and was awarded best host.

Other winners include Tom Cruise for Best Performance in a Movie for Top Gun: Maverick, and Jennifer Coolidge, who received the Comedic Genius Award for her performance in The White Lotus. The ceremony also introduced two new categories: best reality onscreen team and best kick-ass cast.

All the winners were voted by fans. Despite the absence of a live audience, the show remained a success, with celebrities and winners showing their support for the striking writers.
