The ceremony is always a rollicking good time, mainly because it rewards entertainers for what fans really care about: Best Villain, Best Fight and Best Scared-As-S**t Performance are just a few of the actual awards given out. And then there’s all the kissing. The Best Kiss award is always one of the steamier parts of the show, and you can never look away. One year, Rebel Wilson and Adam DeVine rolled around on the floor. In 2014,Zac Efron kissed a random fan and Seth Rogen made out with his “mom” (who probably was not his mom!). In 2021, He’s All That star Addison Rae kissed her co-star Tanner Buchanan before they gave out the award for Best Kiss to Outer Banks stars Madelyn Cline and Chase Stokes–who also smooched on stage. Of course, the show is full of comedy bits and random surprises. (Last year, Scarlett Johansson got slimed by her slightly confused husband Colin Jost.) But things can also get rowdy and a bit strange. For instance, Aubrey Plazawas escorted out of the venue after she tried to do a Kanye West-style takeover during Will Ferrell’s acceptance speech in 2013. If you can’t shake your case of MTV awards fever, keep in mind that the day after the 2022 MTV Movie and TV Awards, the network will also host the 2022 Movie & TV Awards: UNSCRIPTED, its celebration of reality television. That ceremony aired for the first time in 2021—and this year, producers say it will be “over-the-top, funny and completely fresh,” adding in a statement, “The night will celebrate the jaw-dropping, no-rules, drama-filled moments from our favorite reality shows." Keep reading to find out what we know about the 2022 MTV Movie and TV Awards—including our guesses for the nominees, performers, and of course, kissers. And as news keeps coming out about the 2022 affair, keep checking back here as we update this story with the latest info.
Does MTV still do movie awards?
Yes, they do! The MTV Movie Awards started in 1992 and has been held now for 30 years running; in 2017, they famously expanded the ceremony and renamed it the Movie and TV Awards.
When are the 2022 MTV Movie and TV Awards?
This year’s MTV Movie and TV Awards are set to air live on Sunday, June 5.
Who is hosting the 2022 MTV Movie and TV Awards?
MTV is being tight lipped about who will host this year. The 2021 event was hosted by Leslie Jones, and the very first host of the show, all the way back in 1992, wascomedian and SNL star Dennis Miller.
Who is nominated for 2022 MTV Movie and TV Awards?
Unlike with the Oscars, the MTV Movie and Music Awards always celebrates the most popular TV shows and movies. There’s never really a question about why a movie is nominated–if you’ve heard about it, there’s a good chance that it will show up as a nominee. This year, if eligible, the HBO series Euphoria and its A-list star Zendaya are practically already winners, although Ted Lasso, Cobra Kai and Emily in Paris might pick up some nods, too. Zendaya is also a likely shoo-in for Best Kiss with her real life boyfriend Tom Holland; their liplock in Spider-Man: No Way Home was pretty epic. Otherwise, Squid Game is probably the strongest contender for Best Show, and all the stars from that show could be nominated. The awards show loves Marvel too, so Loki may also get some love. On the film side, Will Smith, who won the Generation Award during the 2016 MTV Movie and Music Awards, could be a nominee for his work on King Richard. Whether he attends in person or not, there will almost certainly be a reference to the punch-seen-around-the-world incident that happened between him and Chris Rock at the Academy Awards earlier this year. The big winners last year were To All the Boys: Always and Forever (Best Movie) and WandaVision (Best Show).
Who will be performing at the 2022 MTV Movie and TV Awards?
Even though MTV rarely plays music on their channel these days, their awards shows are usually packed with tunes. While there have been no announcements yet about this year’s performers, big stars usually show up to rock the stage: Notable performances over the years include Selena Gomez doing “Come and Get It” in 2013, Lizzo singing “Juice” in 2019 andChristina Aguilera, Lil Kim, Mya and Pink singing “Lady Marmalade” way back in 2001.
When can fans vote for the 2022 MTV Movie and TV Awards?
While network execs and producers decide the nominees, the public can vote for the winners of the MTV Movie and TV Awards, which makes the show even more enjoyable for fans. While voting isn’t yet open for the awards this year, voting opened on April 19 last year ahead of the show’s May 16 premiere. So voting might start this May, about a month before the show!
