2016 MTV Movie Award Winners List
Last night was the annual rager/ award show known as the MTV Movie Awards. While the general public won’t be able to see the debauchery that occurs until tonight’s airing of the ceremony, the recipients of all of the awards is now public knowledge. Unlike the Oscars, the nominations cater to a younger audience and focus on some of the biggest blockbusters of the year. From superhero romps like Avengers: Age of Ultron and Deadpool, to comedies like Pitch Perfect 2, the nominations reflect the movies which were most watched and talked about by MTV’s demographic.
After all, who doesn’t want to see Adam Driver and Samuel L. Jackson duke it out for best villain? Those types of categories are what set apart the MTV Movie Awards from all of the other award shows. Specifically, the best kiss category usually triggers a full on make-out session by the winners like Selma Blair and Sarah Michelle Gellar in Cruel Intentions.
Without further ado, here are the winners for the 2016 MTV Movie Awards.
