“Spider-Man: No Way Home,” “Euphoria,” “The Batman” and “RuPaul’s Drag Race” lead this year’s MTV Movie & TV Awards nominations, the network announced on Wednesday. The outlet also announced that this year’s event would combine the longrunning MTV Movie & TV Awards with its recent spinoff, the all-reality “Movie & TV Awards: Unscripted,” into a one-night event to air live on Sunday, June 5.
MTV originally announced in March that the second annual reality-centric “Movie & TV Awards: Unscripted” would air on the following night, Monday, June 6; there was no explanation given on why the two shows were ultimately moved to the same night.
In 2021, the “MTV Movie & TV Awards” and the inaugural “Movie & TV Awards: Unscripted” were held on different nights.
This year’s telecast once again takes place live from Santa Monica’s Barker Hangar, and features new categories including best song and “here for the hookup” on the MTV Movie & TV Awards side, as well as “best reality return,” best music documentary, best reality romance and best reality star; those last four will be featured during the “Movie & TV Awards: Unscripted” portion of the evening.
The awards show’s categories continue to be gender-neutral, and most movie/TV categories have been merged. Fans can vote across 26 categories starting May 11 and through May 18 at 6 p.m. ET on vote.mtv.com.
Last year’s “MTV Movie & TV Awards” was hosted by comedian Leslie Jones, and took place on May 16, 2021, at the Hollywood Palladium; comedian Nikki Glaser followed it up as host of the first ever “Movie & TV Awards: Unscripted.”
The show’s hosts, performers, presenters and other details will be announced at a later date. MTV’s Bruce Gillmer, Wendy Plaut and Vanessa Whitewolf and Den Of Thieves’ Jesse Ignjatovic and Barb Bialkowski will all executive produce. Jackie Barba and Alicia Portugal are executives in charge of production and Lisa Lauricella serves as the music talent executive.
