What else do you need to know?
The 2019 MTV Movie & TV Awards will celebrate pop culture with performances, stories and moments that drove the conversation this year. MTV continues to collapse the divide between film, television and streaming as well as nominating the best performances no matter screen, genre or gender, with the telecast reflecting the way young people view the world and recognize that great content and iconic moments can’t be siloed. This is reflected by the continuation of gender-neutral categories and the fact that a real-life hero like Ruth Bader Ginsberg can be celebrated alongside fictional blockbusters like Game of Thrones and Avengers: Endgame.
