May 16 will bring with it the 2021 MTV Movie & TV Awards.
Set to air live from the Palladium in Los Angeles, the highly anticipated awards ceremony is designed to toast the last year’s best and brightest actors in film and television as well as the buzziest moments that made jaws drop and set social media alight in the process.
While big names in television like ‘WandaVision’ and ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ lead the race among TV nominees, ‘Judas & the Black Messiah’ is poised to dominate in movie categories.

The Boy’s Aya Cash for me is the best villain. And the fight that involved her and the other girls was a delight.
WandaVision deserves the other awards.
Lol I can’t take this award show seriously but Best Fight and Best Kiss? I know the MTV Movie and TV awards aren’t the Oscars or the Sags, but some of these categories lol. I’m surprised these categories still exist!!
Best fight lmao
