MTV Movie and TV Awards Are Postponed Until Next Year
The MTV Movie and TV Awards for this year have been called off. The award ceremony is expected to return in 2025.
Deadline confirms that following the disruption caused by the WGA strike, the 2023 edition of the MTV Movie & TV Awards underwent significant changes.
Initially planned as a live event, it had to transition into a pre-taped show. This transition was due to Drew Barrymore’s withdrawal as host and the Writers Guild’s intention to picket the venue.
Despite the challenges faced in 2023, ratings for the MTV Movie & TV Awards remained respectable. This success raised the possibility of the awards show permanently adjusting its format to better adapt to changing circumstances.
Originally established as the MTV Movie Awards in 1992, the award ceremony expanded to include TV categories in 2017. Traditionally timed to coincide with the start of the summer blockbuster season, it has evolved over the years to reflect the shifting landscape of entertainment.
The initial report on these developments was first made by TMZ. According to the outlet, “there’s a number of possibilities for why MTV is punting this year, but in any case… we know they’re gonna run it back.” This provides insight into the behind-the-scenes decisions shaping the future of this iconic awards show.
Following the announcement on X, fans took to social media platforms to share their reactions.

Furthermore, the diverse range of reactions underscored varying degrees of attachment and interest among audiences.
