The awards ceremony will broadcast live from the Barker Hangar in Los Angeles, with some of Hollywood’s biggest names in attendance. MTV’s annual event plans to honor the best in film and television. The award categories span genres and include scripted and unscripted movies and TV.
If anyone knows movies and television, it’s Drew Barrymore. The global icon first stepped into the entertainment industry at six when in E.T.: The Extraterrestrial. Barrymore has since starred in and produced many hit movies through her production company, Flower Films. Her most notable works include Never Been Kissed, 50 First Dates, Donnie Darko, He’s Just Not That Into You, and Whip It.
Throughout her impressive career, Barrymore received nine MTV Movie & TV Awards nominations, winning three. Barrymore first won Best Kiss for The Wedding Singer, which she starred in alongside Adam Sandler. In the years following, Barrymore also won Best On-Screen Team for Charlie’s Angels. Additionally, Barrymore and Sandler were jointly honored as a Dynamic Duo at the MTV Awards: Greatest of All Time in 2020.
More recently, the award-winning actress received a nomination for her talk show, The Drew Barrymore Show. Since its premiere in 2020, the talk show amassed a loyal fan base that appreciates the rare thoughtfulness with which Barrymore interviews her guests. Given her years of experience in such a grueling industry, Barrymore is able to create a safe space for her guests to discuss their current projects candidly and comfortably. The talk show is on its third season and was just renewed for a fourth.
